  Recent results of $\Lambda$(1520) resonance production in d+Au collisions at
$\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = $ 200 GeV are presented and discussed in terms of the
evolution and freeze-out conditions of a hot and dense fireball medium. Yields
and spectra are compared to results from p+p and Au+Au collisions. The
$\Lambda$(1520)/$\Lambda$ ratio in d+Au collisions ratio is consistent with the
ratio in p+p collisions. This suggests a short time for elastic interactions
between chemical and thermal freeze-out. One can conclude that the interaction
volume in d+Au collisions is small.
