Based on a chiral SU(3) description of the kaon, antikaon and pion-nucleon scattering data [1] a self-consistent many-body approach for the propagation of hyperon-resonances and antikaons in cold nuclear matter is presented [2]. The importance of p-wave channels, in particular the contribution of the Sigma(1385) resonance, for the nuclear strangeness dynamics is emphasized. As a result of our simulations we predict substantially in-medium enhanced π Y to K N reaction amplitudes that should drive the subthreshold antikaon production in heavy-ion collisions at SIS energies strongly towards equilibrium conditions. As a further application of the obtained antikaon spectral function we report on a detailed calculation of the φ -meson properties in nuclear matter. Medium modifications of the vector meson spectral functions may be seen with the HADES detector at GSI in π A collisions.
