Strange hadron production is a sensitive probe to the reaction dynamics of nucleus-nucleus collisions. The enhancement of their yields in A+A collisions relative to that in p+p at the same energy has long been regarded as one of the signatures of Quark-Gluon Plasma formation in these collisions. The measurement of their nuclear modification factors, baryon to meson ratios and elliptic flow...

The $\omega$ meson is a promising probe to investigate the properties of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). It is well known that the yield of high-pT particles is suppressed in nucleus-nucleus collisions relative to that in pp collisions. The effect is attributed to energy loss of parent partons or perhaps of hadrons after freeze-out. Since $\pi^0$ and $\omega$ mesons have the same quark contents...

One of the main goals of the RHIC Beam Energy Scan (BES) Program is to search for the QCD Critical Point and the phase boundary in the QCD phase diagram. Higher moments of event-by-event net-proton multiplicity distributions have high sensitivity to the correlation length[1], and they are directly connected to the susceptibilities in the Lattice Gauge Theory (LGT) calculations and the Hadron...
