Description

We study as function of energy strangeness created in relativistic heavy ion collisions. To this end, we evaluate statistical hadronization with chemical freeze-out in both equilibrium and nonequilibrium. We obtain strangeness per baryon and per entropy in the center of mass energy range between 8.75 and 200 A GeV. A baryon density independent study of the kaon to pion ratio is also presented. The energy dependence of several physical observables shows regularities, some display discontinuities, both at the lower energy range of SPS energy and in the low RHIC range.
