Abstract
Starting with the Strongly Correlated Quark Model of a hadron structure, SCQM, we demonstrate how the properties of mesons and baryons are modified in a hot and dense nuclear environment. These in-medium modifications can lead to observable effects in heavy ion collisions, such as enhancement of strangeness and dropping vector meson masses.
Highlights
Current and future experiments focus on observables which are sensitive to QGP phase transition, especially to the range of the phase diagram close to the critical point
Observables indicating non-monotonic and unexpected behavior of emitted particles are especially important. In this way the study of the strange particle production in heavy ion collisions is promising as they could serve a good diagnostic tool to investigate the properties of nuclear matter under extreme conditions
Dileptons are an ideal probe to study the properties of hot and dense nuclear matter, since they are emitted at different stages of reaction and leave the medium nearly unperturbed
Summary
Current and future experiments focus on observables which are sensitive to QGP phase transition, especially to the range of the phase diagram close to the critical point. Observables indicating non-monotonic and unexpected (from theoretical point of view) behavior of emitted particles are especially important In this way the study of the strange particle production in heavy ion collisions is promising as they could serve a good diagnostic tool to investigate the properties of nuclear matter under extreme conditions. Though a variety of models, statistical [5,6,7,8] and kinetic [9, 10] (with or without deconfinement) have been involved to describe "horn" structure, its satisfactory understanding is still not complete Another promising observable is a yield of dileptons. Dileptons are an ideal probe to study the properties of hot and dense nuclear matter, since they are emitted at different stages of reaction and leave the medium nearly unperturbed.
