Overview of Strangeness Production at the STAR Experiment
Abstract
We present an overview of recent STAR results on strangeness production in p+p and heavy-ion collisions at RHIC. In both Cu+Cu and Au+Au collisions we show the centrality dependencies of bulk yield and mid-pT spectrum measurements with new comparisons to theory. The latest v2 results for strange particles are presented and prospects for strangeness production in the low energy scan program will be outlined. Finally, we report new measurements of strangeness fragmentation functions for jets in p+p collisions.
