With the recently measured Au$+$Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$= 14.5~GeV, STAR completed its first phase of the Beam Energy Scan (BES) program at RHIC. The main motivation of the BES program is the study of the QCD phase diagram and the search for a conjectured critical point. Amongst the various collision energies of 7.7, 11.5, 19.6, 27, and 39~GeV, that have been previously presented by...

Measurements of transverse momentum ($p_T$) spectra for strange ($K^0_s$ and $\Lambda$) and multi-strange ($\Xi^-$) hadrons are presented over a wide range of multiplicity and particle rapidity in pp, pPb and PbPb collisions. The data were recorded using the CMS detector at the LHC, with an implementation of high-multiplicity triggers for pp and pPb collision data. The particle ratios, the...

Light vector meson ($\rho$, $\omega$, $\phi$) production provides key information on
the hot and dense state of strongly interacting matter produced in high-energy
heavy-ion collisions. In particular, strangeness production can be accessed
through the measurement of the $\phi$ meson, while the detailed description of the full dimuon mass spectra can be used to reveal in-medium modifications...

We study effects of hadronic rescattering on final observables for
multi-strange hadrons in high-energy nuclear collisions within an
integrated dynamical model. We simulate the whole collision process on
an event-by-event basis by using a fully (3+1)-dimensional ideal
hydrodynamic description for the quark gluon plasma (QGP) and a
subsequent kinetic transport description for the hadron...

The high collision energies reached at the LHC enable significant production
rates of light (anti-)(hyper-)nuclei in proton-proton, proton-lead and, in
particular, lead-lead collisions. The excellent particle identification capabilities
of the ALICE apparatus, based on the specific energy loss in the time
projection chamber and the velocity information from the time-of-flight
detector,...
