Strangeness at SIS energies

Abstract

In this contribution we discuss the physics of strange hadrons in low energy ($\simeq 1-2\mathrm{AGeV}$) heavy ion collision. In this energy range the relevant strange particle are the kaons and anti-kaons. The most interesting aspect concerning these particles are so called in-medium modifications. We will attempt to review the current status of understanding of these in medium modifications. In addition we will briefly discuss other issues related with kaon production, such as the nuclear equation of state and chemical equilibrium.
