Description
The study of strange hadrons plays a critical role in understanding the properties of hot and dense nuclear matter created in heavy-ion collisions, as they provide unique insights into the quantum chromodynamics phase transition and the possible formation of a quark-gluon plasma. Strangeness enhancement, first proposed as a signature of quark-gluon plasma, arises from the high production rate of strange quarks in deconfined matter compared to hadronic interactions. Strange hadrons, such as Xi and Omega hyperons, are particularly sensitive probes because of their relatively low production in ordinary hadronic collisions and their ability to retain information about the conditions at chemical freeze-out. In this work, the spectra of strange hadrons is studied as a function of transverse momentum for different rapidities and collision centralities, providing information on the dynamics of the hot matter and the chemical freeze-out parameters. Particle signal was extracted via invariant mass technique using different topological cuts. Precise measurements of strange particles yields in Au+Au collisions have potential to deepen our understanding of physics of strangeness and extract the chemical freeze-out parameters of hot matter.
