Description

In this contribution, we discuss the physics of strange hadrons in low energy (∼ 1-2 A GeV) heavy ion collision. In this energy range the relevant strange particles are the kaons and anti-kaons. The most interesting aspect concerning these particles are the so-called in-medium modifications. We will attempt to review the current status of understanding of these in-medium modifications. In addition we will briefly discuss other issues related with kaon production, such as the nuclear equation of state and chemical equilibrium
