Hadronic decay channel probes only late stages of the collision • Φ Information from early time ? • f0(980) KK molecule (bound state)  insight strangeness behavior in relativistic collisions • K*0(892) Regeneration and daughter rescattering  time scale ? ρ0 c = 1.3 fm Φ c = 44 fm Patricia Fachini
