Strangeness enhancement as a signature of QGP formation. Koch, Muller, Rafelski

The order of the phase transition depends on the mass of strange quark.

Neuron star

• Hyperon star –N.S with hyperons in the core• N star with kaon condensate in the core chlee

• hybrid star -neutron star with QGP core• hybrid star -neutron star with mixed phase Glendenning, prd46,1274(1992) Heiselber,pethick, Staubo, prl70,1355(1993)

• mixed phase in N-star: rod and pastas Baym, Glendenning

Inclusion of strangeness is favored since they lower the Fermi energy.

Summary

• Enhancement of strangeness in QGP.• Inclusion of strangeness in the Q-H

phase transition needs careful study, especially when the phase transition is

of the 1st order.- Strange quark star, strange matter lump
