We review the progress achieved in extracting the properties of hot and dense matter from
relativistic heavy ion collisions at the relativistic heavy ion collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven …

Investigations of deconfined quark matter within NJL-type models are reviewed, focusing on
the regime of low temperatures and “moderate” densities, which is not accessible by …

Chiral restoration phase transition in hot and/or dense hadronic matter is discussed in terms
of the BR scaling based on chiral symmetry and scale anomaly of QCD. The precise …

Using a relativistic transport model for the expansion stage of S+ Au collisions at 200
GeV/nucleon, we show that the recently observed enhancement of low-mass dileptons by …

This article reviews our view on how chiral symmetry, its pattern of breaking and restoration
under extreme conditions manifest themselves in the nucleon, nuclei, nuclear matter and …

We construct an effective Lagrangian which illustrates why color deconfines when chiral
symmetry is restored in hot gauge theories with quarks in the fundamental representation …

If the phase transition of QCD at nonzero temperature is dominated by the (approximate)
restoration of chiral symmetry, then the transition might be characterized using a gauged …

Using a relativistic transport model to describe the expansion of the fire-cylinder formed in
the initial stage of heavy-ion collisions at SPS/CERN energies, we study the production of …

In this report we consider the numerical simulations at finite temperature using lattice QCD
data for the computation of the thermodynamical quantities including the pressure, energy …

We study scenarios for chiral symmetry restoration and deconfinement at finite temperature
and/or density, based on assuming universal scaling relations fort some hadron masses. We …
