    Description
    We discuss the experimental data on particle yields and particle spectra obtained in heavy ion collisions in a very broad energy range from RHIC/BNL through SPS/CERN up to AGS/BNL and SIS/GSI. The interpretation of these data will be presented in the context of statistical and dynamical models. We argue that in this broad energy range hadronic yields and their ratios resemble a thermal equilibrium population. The multistrange baryons can serve as a probe to possibly distinguish statistical hadronization from string dynamics.
