At sufficiently high temperature and energy density, nuclear matter undergoes a transition to phase in which quarks gluons are not confined: the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) [1]. Such an extreme state of strongly-interacting QCD (Quantum Chromo-Dynamics) is produced laboratory with high-energy collisions heavy nuclei, where enhanced production strange hadrons observed [2-6]. Strangeness enhancement, originally proposed as signature QGP formation [7], more pronounced for multi-strange baryons....
