Strangeness and the Quark-Gluon Plasma: Thirty Years of Discovery
Berndt M\"uller
TL;DR
This paper reviews the role of strange quarks in hot QCD matter and their use as probes for quark deconfinement in the quark-gluon plasma over the past thirty years.
Contribution
It provides a comprehensive overview of three decades of research on strangeness in quark-gluon plasma and its significance in understanding high-temperature QCD.
Findings
Strange quarks are key probes of quark deconfinement.
Experimental evidence supports the role of strangeness in identifying quark-gluon plasma.
Advances have improved understanding of strangeness production in high-energy collisions.
Abstract
I review some aspects of the role of strange quarks in hot QCD matter and as probes of quark deconfinement at high temperature.
