We present measurements of $Omega$ and $phi$ production at mid-rapidity from Au+Au collisions at nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energies $sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 7.7, 11.5, 19.6, 27 and 39 GeV by the STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). Motivated by the coalescence formation mechanism for these strange hadrons, we study the ratios of $N(Omega^{-}+Omega^{+})/(2N(phi))$. These ratios as a function of transverse momentum ($p_T$) fall on a consistent trend at high collision energies, but start to show deviations in peripheral collisions at $sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 19.6, 27 and 39 GeV, and in central collisions at 11.5 GeV in the intermediate $p_T$ region of 2.4-3.6 GeV/c. We further evaluate empirically the strange quark $p_T$ distributions at hadronization by studying the $Omega/phi$ ratios scaled by the number of constituent quarks. The NCQ-scaled $Omega/phi$ ratios show a suppression of strange quark production in central collisions at 11.5 GeV compared to $sqrt{s_{NN}} >= 19.6$ GeV. The shapes of the presumably thermal strange quark distributions in 0-60% most central collisions at 7.7 GeV show significant deviations from those in 0-10% most central collisions at higher energies. These features suggest that there is likely a change of the underlying strange quark dynamics in the transition from quark-matter to hadronic matter at collision energies below 19.6 GeV.

The exclusive production cross sections for $omega$ and $phi$ mesons have been measured in proton-proton reactions at $p_{lab}=3.67$ GeV/c. The observed $phi/omega$ cross section ratio is $(3.8pm0.2^{+1.2}_{-0.9})times 10^{-3}$. After phase space cor
rections, this ratio is enhanced by about an order of magnitude relative to naive predictions based upon the Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka (OZI) rule, in comparison to an enhancement by a factor $sim 3$ previously observed at higher beam momenta. The modest increase of this enhancement near the production threshold is compared to the much larger increase of the $phi/omega$ ratio observed in specific channels of $bar pp$ annihilation experiments. Furthermore, differential cross section results are also presented which indicate that although the $phi$ meson is predominantly produced from a $^3P_1$ proton-proton entrance channel, other partial waves contribute significantly to the production mechanism at this beam momentum.
The inclusive production of omega and phi mesons is studied in the backward region of the interaction of 12 GeV protons with polyethylene, carbon, and copper targets. The mesons are measured in e^+ e^- decay channels. The production cross sections of
the mesons are presented as functions of rapidity y and transverse momentum p_T. The nuclear mass number dependences (A dependences) are found to be A^{0.710 +/- 0.021(stat) +/- 0.037(syst)} for omega mesons and A^{0.937 +/- 0.049(stat) +/- 0.018(syst)} for phi mesons in the region of 0.9 < y < 1.7 and p_T < 0.75 GeV/c.
We present phi-meson transverse momentum distribution as well as its elliptic flow (v_{2}) measurements in Au + Au collisions at center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair sqrt{s_{NN}} = 7.7, 11.5 and 39 GeV with the data taken from STAR experiment at RH
IC in the year 2010. We discuss the energy dependence of phi-meson elliptic flow (v_{2}) and central-to-peripheral nuclear modification factors (R_{CP}). The v_{2} of phi-mesons are compared to those from other hadron species. The implications on partonic-hadronic phase transition are discussed.
The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment at the future Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) in Darmstadt is designed to investigate the properties of high-density QCD matter with multi-differential measurements of hadrons and lepton
s, including rare probes like multi-strange anti-hyperons and charmed particles. The research program covers the study of the high-density equation-of-state of nuclear matter, and the exploration of the QCD phase diagram at large baryon-chemical potentials, including the search for quark matter and the critical endpoint of a hypothetical 1st order phase transition. The CBM setup comprises detector systems for the identification of charged hadrons, electrons, and muons, for the determination of collision centrality and the orientation of the reaction plane, and a free-streaming data read-out and acquisition system, which allows online reconstruction and selection of events up to reaction rates of 10 MHz. In this article, emphasis is placed on the measurement of muon pairs in Au-Au collisions at FAIR beam energies, which are unique probes to determine the temperature of the fireball, and, hence, to search for a caloric curve of QCD matter. Simultaneously, the subthreshold production of charmonium can be studied via its dimuon decay, in order to shed light on the microscopic structure of QCD matter at high baryon densities. The CBM setup with focus on dimuon measurements and results of the corresponding physics performance studies will be presented.
In this study we investigate the dynamics of strongly interacting parton-hadron matter by calculating the centrality dependence of direct photons produced in Au+Au collisions at $sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV within the Parton-Hadron-String Dynamics (PHSD) t
ransport approach. As sources for direct photons, we incorporate the interactions of quarks and gluons as well as hadronic interactions ($pi+pitorho+gamma$, $rho+pitopi+gamma$, meson-meson bremsstrahlung $m+mto m+m+gamma$, meson-baryon bremsstrahlung $m+Bto m+B+gamma$), the decays of $phi$ and $a_1$ mesons and the photons produced in the initial hard collisions (pQCD). Our calculations suggest that the channel decomposition of the observed spectrum changes with centrality with an increasing (dominant) contribution of hadronic sources for more peripheral reactions. Furthermore, the thermal photon yield is found to scale roughly with the number of participant nucleons as $N_{part}^alpha$ with $alpha approx$ 1.5, whereas the partonic contribution scales with an exponent $alpha_p approx1.75$. Additionally, we provide predictions for the centrality dependence of the direct photon elliptic flow $v_2(p_T)$. The direct photon $v_2$ is seen to be larger in peripheral collisions compared to the most central ones since the photons from the hot deconfined matter in the early stages of the collision carry a much smaller elliptic flow than those from the final hadronic interactions.
