Description
We review the strangeness production data in heavy-ion collisions at
energies arround the NN production threshold.
The dense nuclear matter environment produced in heavy-ion collisions
provides unique opportunities to form strange few body systems. In search for
those systems with strong decays special emphasis will be given to $\Lambda$ p
and $\Lambda$ d correlations. Long lived weakly decaying ligh hypernuclei are
accessible by the two body decay into a negative pion and a baryon. Results
for p, d, t, $^3$He, and $\alpha$ + $\pi$ are reported.
The picture will be
completed with the discussion of recent measurements of
kaon flow over a wide impact parameter range for which
comprehensive comparisons with state-of-the-art transport
models will be shown.
