We review the constraints imposed by the spontaneously broken chiral symmetry of the QCD
vacuum on the hadron properties at finite temperature T and baryon density ρB. A …

We discuss the basic ideas of relativistic transport models used for the interpretation and
description of experimental data from heavy-ion collisions at high collision energies. We …

HADES is a versatile magnetic spectrometer aimed at studying dielectron production in pion,
proton and heavy-ion-induced collisions. Its main features include a ring imaging gas …

This book gives an introduction to main ideas used in the physics of ultra-relativistic heavy-
ion collisions. The links between basic theoretical concepts (discussed gradually from the …

In this review we address the dynamics of relativistic heavy-ion reactions and in particular
the information obtained from electromagnetic probes that stem from the partonic and …

Using a rather complete description of the in-medium ρ spectral function–being constrained
by various independent experimental information–we calculate pertinent dilepton production …

A quantitative evaluation of dilepton sources in heavy-ion reactions is performed taking into
account both thermal and non-thermal production mechanisms. The hadronic thermal …

The description of strongly interacting quantum fields is based on two-particle irreducible
(2PI) approaches that allow for a consistent treatment of quantum systems out-of-equilibrium …

We present the combined results on electron-pair production in 158 GeV/n {Pb-Au}($\sqrt {s}
$= 17.2 GeV) collisions taken at the CERN SPS in 1995 and 1996, and give a detailed …
