Strangeness in dense nuclear matter: A review of AGS results

Abstract

Enhancement in strangeness production and antihyperon to antibaryon ratio are two important signatures of QGP formation. Both signatures have been measured at the AGS. A review of these measurements is given. Implications of the measurements are discussed.
