The paper gives an overview of strangeness-production experiments at the Cooler Synchrotron COSY. Results on kaon-pair and $phi$ meson production in $pp$, $pd$ and $dd$ collisions, hyperon-production experiments and $Lambda p$ final-state interaction studies are presented as well as a search for a strangeness $S=-1$ resonance in the $Lambda p$ system.

According to the concept of universality in hadron production, the basic mechanisms of hadron formation are the same in all high-energy e+e-, lh and hh reactions, with differences in the composition of final-state particle types being due only to differences in initial parton flavours and configurations. This concept is discussed in the light of recent data and phenomenology.
The results of the microscopic transport calculations of $bar p$-nucleus interactions within a GiBUU model are presented. The dominating mechanism of hyperon production is the strangeness exchange processes $bar K N to Y pi$ and $bar K N to Xi K$. The calculated rapidity spectra of $Xi$ hyperons are significantly shifted to forward rapidities with respect to the spectra of $S=-1$ hyperons. We argue that this shift should be a sensitive test for the possible exotic mechanisms of $bar p$-nucleus annihilation. The production of the double $Lambda$-hypernuclei by $Xi^-$ interaction with a secondary target is calculated.
Rescattering following a neutrino-nucleus reaction changes the number, energy, and direction of detectable hadrons. In turn, this affects the selection and kinematic distributions of subsamples of neutrino events used for interaction or oscillation analysis. This technical note focuses on three forms of two-body rescattering. Elastic hadron+nucleus scattering primarily changes the direction of the hadron with very little energy transfer. Secondly, a hadron+nucleon quasi-elastic process leads to the knockout of a single struck nucleon, possibly with charge exchange between the two hadrons. Also, a pion can be absorbed leading to the ejection of two nucleons. There was an error in the code of the {small GENIE} neutrino event generator that affects these processes. We present examples of the change with the fixed version of the scattering process, but also compare these specifically to turning off elastic scattering completely, which is similar to other neutrino event generator configurations or a potential Equick-fix to already generated samples. Three examples are taken from current topics of interest: transverse kinematics observables in quasielastic neutrino reactions, the pion angle with respect to the incoming and outgoing lepton for $Delta$ reactions with a charged pion in the final state, and the angle between two protons in reactions with no pions present. Elastic hadron+nucleus scattering in its unfixed form makes a large distortion in distributions of transverse kinematic imbalances scattering, but only mild distortion in other observables. The distortion of the other two processes is also mild for all distributions considered. The correct form of hadron+nucleus scattering process could play a role in describing the width and center of the sharp peak in the inferred Fermi-motion of the struck nucleon or be benchmarked using (e,ep) data.
We investigate $S=-2$ production from the $Lambda pto K^+X$ reactions within the effective Lagrangian approach. The $Lambda pto K^+LambdaLambda$ and $Lambda pto K^+Xi^-p$ reactions are considered to find the lightest $S=-2$ system, which is $H$-dibaryon. We assume that the $H(2250)toLambdaLambda$, and $H(2270)toXi^-p$ decays with the intrinsic decay width of 1 MeV. According to our calculations, the total cross-sections for $Lambda pto K^+LambdaLambda$ and $Lambda pto K^+Xi^-p$ reactions were found to be of the order of a few $mu$b in the $Lambda$ beam momentum range of up to 5 GeV$/c$. Furthermore, the direct access of information regarding the interference patterns between the $H$-dibaryon and non-resonant contributions was demonstrated.
Kaon production in pion-nucleon collisions in nuclear matter is studied in the resonance model. To evaluate the in-medium modification of the reaction amplitude as a function of the baryonic density we introduce relativistic, mean-field potentials for the initial, final and intermediate mesonic and baryonic states. These vector and scalar potentials were calculated using the quark-meson coupling (QMC) model. The in-medium kaon production cross sections in pion-nucleon interactions for reaction channels with $Lambda$ and $Sigma$ hyperons in the final state were calculated at the baryonic densities appropriate to relativistic heavy ion collisions. Contrary to earlier work which has not allowed for the change of the cross section in medium, we find that the data for kaon production are consistent with a repulsive $K^+$-nucleus potential.
