We report STAR results on the azimuthal anisotropy parameter v2 for strange particles K0S, L and Lbar at midrapidity in Au+Au collisions at sNN = 130 GeV at RHIC. The value of v2 as a function of transverse momentum of the produced particles pt and collision centrality is presented for both particles up to pt 3.0 GeV/c. A strong pt dependence in v2 is observed up to 2.0 GeV/c. The v2 measurement is compared with hydrodynamic model calculations. The physics implications of the pt integrated v2 magnitude as a function of particle mass are also discussed.

We report STAR results on the azimuthal anisotropy parameter v2 for strange particles K0S and Lambda at midrapidity in Au+Au collisions at /s_NN = 130 GeV at RHIC. The value of v2 as a function of transverse momentum pt and collision centrality is presented for both particles and compared to model calculations. A strong pt dependence in v2 is observed up to pt ~2.0 GeV/c where v2 begins to saturate.

In these proceedings, we present the second order ($v_{2}$) and the third order ($v_{3}$) azimuthal anisotropy measurements of strange and multi-strange hadrons such as $K^{0}_{S}$, $\Lambda$, $\bar{\Lambda}$, $\phi$, $\Xi^{-}$, $\bar{\Xi}^{+}$, $\Omega^{-}$, $\bar{\Omega}^{+}$ in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 27 and 54.4 GeV at STAR. The centrality dependence of $v_{2}$ and $v_{3}$ as well as the number of constituent quark scaling (NCQ scaling) for all the particles...

We present STAR measurements of the azimuthal anisotropy parameter $v_2$ and the binary-collision scaled centrality ratio $R_{CP}$ for kaons and lambdas ($\Lambda+\bar{\Lambda}$) at mid-rapidity in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=200$ GeV. In combination, the $v_2$ and $R_{CP}$ particle-type dependencies contradict expectations from partonic energy loss followed by standard fragmentation in vacuum. We establish $p_T \approx 5$ GeV/c as the value where the centrality dep...

In this proceedings, we have presented the invariant yield measurements of strange and multi strange hadrons such as $K^{0}_{S}$, $\Lambda$, $\bar{\Lambda}$, $\phi$, $\Xi^{-}$, $\bar{\Xi}^{+}$, $\Omega^{-}$, $\bar{\Omega}^{+}$ in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 54.4 GeV at midrapidity ($|y|<0.5$). The second and third-order azimuthal anisotropic flow of the above mentioned particles at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 27 and 54.4 GeV are also discussed. Some of the important observabl...

Azimuthal anisotropy of produced particles is one of the most important observables used to access the collective properties of the expanding medium created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. In this paper, we present second ($v_{2}$) and third ($v_{3}$) order azimuthal anisotropies of $K_{S}^{0}$, $\phi$, $\Lambda$, $\Xi$ and $\Omega$ at mid-rapidity ($|y|<$1) in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\text{NN}}}$ = 54.4 GeV measured by the STAR detector. The $v_{2}$ and $v_{3}$ a...

We report multi-differential measurements of strange hadron production ranging from mid- to target-rapidity in Au+Au collisions at a center-of-momentum energy per nucleon pair of $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=3$ GeV with the STAR experiment at RHIC. $K^0_S$ meson and $\Lambda$ hyperon yields are measured via their weak decay channels. Collision centrality and rapidity dependences of the transverse momentum spectra and particle ratios are presented. Particle mass and centrality dependenc...

We present results on two-particle azimuthal correlations of high-$p_T$ neutral strange baryons ($\Lambda$,$\bar{\Lambda}$) and mesons ($K^0_S$) associated with non-identified charged particles in d+Au and Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV. In particular, we discuss properties of the near-side yield of associated charged particles as a function of centrality, transverse momentum and $z_T$, as well as possible baryon/meson and particle/antiparticle differences. The...

Measurements of identified particles over a broad $p_T$ range may provide strong evidence for the existence of a thermalized partonic state in heavy-ion collisions (\textit{i.e.} a quark-gluon plasma). Of particular interest are the centrality dependence and the azimuthal anisotropy in the yield of baryons and mesons at intermediate $p_T$. The first measurements of $v_2$ and the number-of-binary-collisions scaled centrality ratio $R_{CP}$ for $K_S^0$ and $\Lambda+\bar{\Lambda...

The azimuthal anisotropy parameter v2 has been measured with high statistics for identified hadrons in sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV Au+Au collisions with the STAR experiment. At high transverse momentum (pT) a strong v2 for pi+ + pi- and p + pbar is observed. In the intermediate pT region, number-of-constituent-quark scaling was tested to high precision. A detailed comparison of v2 for the multi-strange hadrons phi, Xi + anti-Xi, and Omega + anti-Omega with other particle species sub...

We report the production and azimuthal anisotropy measurements of strange and multi-strange hadrons at STAR BES energies. The $\Lambda/K^0_s$ ratio is reported at 3 GeV and observed to increase faster with transverse momentum than that at higher energies. The number-of-constituent quark (NCQ) scaling of $v_2$ has been studied at 19.6 GeV (BES-II). The NCQ scaling holds for particles and anti-particles, which can be considered as an evidence of partonic collectivity. The produ...
