Production and collective behavior of strange particles in Au + Au collisions at 2--8 AGeV

The E895 experiment at the AGS measured strange particle production and collective behavior in Au+Au collisions between 2–8 AGeV. The production of $\mathrm{\Lambda }$ Baryons and K${}^0$ Mesons as function of energy rises smoothly and exhibits a nonlinear impact parameter dependence. Neutral and positively charged Kaons exhibit a strong anti-flow behavior. $\mathrm{\Lambda }$ Baryons show a smaller flow signal than protons.
