At high pressure, nuclear matter will undergo a transition to
quark matter, so sufficiently heavy neutron stars may really be
``hybrid stars'' with quark matter cores. We discuss possible
signatures of the presence of a quark matter core, such as
characteristics of the mass-radius relation, and the allowed
range of values of the spin frequency, which is sensitive to
quark matter in the...

Nucleus-nucleus collisions provide a unique opportunity to create and to investigate dense nuclear matter in the laboratory. These experiments address fundamental aspects of strong-interaction physics: the nuclear equation-of-state at high baryon densities, the in-medium modifications of hadrons, and the phase transition from hadronic to partonic degrees of freedom. These phenomena play an...
