Description

We report an overview of strangeness production in Cu+Cu and Au+Au collisions at the energies √(sNN)=62.4 and 200 GeV. We show new mid-rapidly dN/dy results for the KS0, Λ, Ξ, Ω particles in Cu+Cu √(sNN)=62 GeV collisions and compare to results in Au+Au √(sNN)=62 GeV collisions. We show new results for mid-pTΛ/KS0 ratios in Cu+Cu √(sNN)=62 GeV collisions and again compare to ratios in Au+Au √(sNN)=62 GeV collisions. Finally, we show the high-pT (∼6.2 GeV/c) RAA(KS0) as a function of system size in Au+Au √(sNN)=200 GeV collisions and compare to RAA(π).
