Description

We discuss the properties of nuclear matter at different conditions: from "cold" at normal nuclear density to the very "hot" and compressed state of Quark-Gluon-Plazma. Those conditions are realized at relativistic proton-nucleus and heavy-ion collisions. As a "tool" for our study we use the Parton-Hadron-String Dynamics (PHSD) microscopic transport approach, which elaborates the partonic and hadronic dynamics, and investigate the constraints which can be obtained from experimental observables on the EoS (equation-of-state) of nuclear matter, the baryon potential and in-medium properties of the hadrons.
