Strangeness production in microscopic transport models
Strangeness production in microscopic transport models is a scholarly work by Steffen Bass, published in 2002 in ''Journal of Physics G''. The main subjects of the publication include physics, economic production, inverse problem, strangeness, and quark–gluon plasma. Strangeness production in microscopic transport models for relativistic heavy-ion collisions from SIS to RHIC is reviewed: after a brief introduction into elementary strangeness production processes, the main emphasis is put on strangeness as indicator of the nuclear equation of state, the excitation function of the $K^+/\\pi^+$ ratio and strangeness as a deconfinement indicator.
