Resonances and their decay products may interact strongly with the hadrons in the fireball medium
from the time of chemical freeze-out until the system breaks up at kinetic freeze-out. In order to
try to further our understanding of the evolution and expansion of this hot and dense medium we
compare resonance particle yields and spectra from elementary p+p and heavy ion collisions.
