K^-/K^+ ratio in heavy-ion collisions with an antikaon self-energy in hot and dense matter

The $K^-/K^+$ ratio produced in heavy-ion collisions at GSI energies is studied. The in-medium properties at finite temperature of the hadrons involved are included, paying a special attention to the in-medium properties of antikaons. Using a statistical approach, it is found that the determination...
