Review of the strangeness physics programme at HADES – past and future perspectives
The aim of HADES is to study various aspects of low-energy QCD. HADES is a versatile spectrometer operating at the SIS18 synchrotron located at the GSI/FAIR in Darmstadt, Germany. It is primarily designed to study dilepton production in proton and heavy-ion induced reactions, but thanks to a recent upgrade, including detector systems for the PANDA and CBM experiments, it has also improved its capability to identify hadrons. This makes it an excellent tool to explore strange hadrons production. The Λ, Σ, Ξ(1321), Λ(1405), Λ(1520), Σ(1385) hyperons, kaons and φ mesons were studied in the few AGeV region providing many interesting results on strangeness production in elementary and heavy ion collisions. In this talk, I will present highlights from former studies of elementary and heavy ion collisions and discuss opportunities emerging from a recent high statistics p+p run at 4.5 GeV.
