| has gloss | eng: Strangeness production is a signature and a diagnostic tool of quark-gluon plasma (or QGP) formation and properties. Unlike up and down quarks, from which everyday matter is made, strange quarks are formed in pair production processes in collisions between constituents of the plasma. The dominant mechanism of production involves gluons only present when matter has changed into the QGP phase. When QGP disassembles into hadrons in a breakup process, the high availability of strange antiquarks helps to produce antimatter containing multiple strange quarks, which is otherwise rarely made. Similar considerations are at present made for the heavier charm quark flavor which is made earlier on at the beginning of the collision process in first interactions and is only abundant in the high-energy environments that will be provided by CERN's Large Hadron Collider. |
