Unique signatures for QGP in strangeness sector

We suggest that the variations of certain strange particle ratios either with the energy density or with the baryon density constitute a significant signal for identification of the QGP formation in ultra-relativistic nucleus–nucleus collisions. We use realistic equations of state (EOS) for the QGP as well as for dense, hot hadron gas (HG) scenarios. We suggest that a direct comparison of the ratios obtained in the QGP and HG scenarios will be immensely helpful in identifying the QGP formation.
