Strange correlations benchmark hadronisation
Strange correlations benchmark hadronisation Sep/Oct 2024 In high-energy hadronic and heavy-ion collisions, strange quarks are dominantly produced from gluon fusion. In contrast to u and d quarks, they are not present in the colliding particles. Since strangeness is a conserved quantity in QCD, the net number of strange and anti-strange particles must equal zero, making
