Physics in the baryon-rich regime☆

Abstract This paper focuses on: • • Explosion of dense matter — expansion, collective motion, cluster formation and their sensitivity on the equation of state • • Formation and observability of anti-matter • • Dileptons, vector mesons and partial symmetry restoration • • Thermal photon spectra • • Formation and observability of baryon-rich, dense strange or (hyper-)matter at collider energies, i. e. at μ init ≈ 0
