Abstract

The yields of strange hadrons have been measured as a function of centrality in Au+Au and in p+p collisions at sNN=200 GeV in STAR. The system size and energy dependence are studied and compared for p+p and Au+Au collisions. Thermal models are fitted to the ratios of various strange particles to investigate the particle production and to determine the strangeness enhancement. The temperatures (T) and the strangeness enhancement factors (γs) of the systems determined from the fits are presented.
