Abstract

The STAR Experiment at RHIC is capable of a wide variety of measurements of the production of strange hadrons in nuclear collisions. Measurements of the relative production of strange baryons, antibaryons, and kaons can shed light on the baryon densities achieved in these collisions and on the validity of models for production yields. We will present here preliminary results on these measurements at RHIC energies of sqrt(sNN) = 130 GeV and 200 GeV and discuss comparisons to models.
