Strangeness in Hadronic Systems

Abstract

This paper reviews different aspects of hadronic systems with strange quarks. It reviews production, spectroscopy and decay of baryons and hypernuclei with emphasis on recent results obtained in this field. It includes a comparison of different systems doped with strange (or heavy) quarks, emphasizing the single particle nature which can be observed in baryons and nuclei.
