The problem of pinning down the critical point of strongly interacting matter still puzzles the community. One of the answers suspected to emerge in the near future will surely come from NA61/SHINE -a fixed-target experiment aiming to discover the critical point as well as to study the properties of the onset of deconfinement. This goal will be reached by obtaining precise data on hadron...

phi(1020) mesons emitted from Ni+Ni and Al+Al collisions at the beam kinetic energy of 1.9A GeV were investigated by the FOPI Collaboration [1,2]. Significantly larger data sample was obtained compared to our previous measurements [3]. Basic parameters of phi(1020) emission were obtained from kinetic energy distribution. Our results are close to that obtained by the HADES Collaboration at...

Chiral phase transition is investigated in the SU(3)_L x SU(3)_R symmetric (axial)vector meson extended Polyakov Quark Meson model, which includes beside the usual scalar and pseudoscalar nonets, the vector and axial vector nonets, constituent quarks and Polyakov loop variables. For the determination of the model parameters at zero temperature we apply a hybrid approach, in which mesons...

The Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) is a state of matter, which is thought to have been present before the hadron epoch in the early universe. This regime of strongly-interacting matter where quarks are deconfined can be recreated at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in heavy-ion collisions. Among the LHC experiments, ALICE is especially designed for the study of the signatures of the QGP....

The measurement of charm and beauty production cross sections in pp collisions provides a reference for heavy-ion studies and a test for perturbative QCD calculations. In p-Pb collisions, open heavy-flavour measurements allow one to assess the effects due to the presence of a nucleus in the initial state, and to investigate the possible presence of final-state effects, such as jet quenching...

The CBM experiment aims the study of the QCD phase diagram at low temperatures and high baryonic densities, mainly to study the phase transition between hadrons and partons under these conditions. There are many signals to detect the phase transition point: fluctuations, hydrodynamics, etc. In previous studies we found as an interesting tool for analyzing of relativistic nuclear collisions:...

The CBM experiment aims to study heavy ion collisions at incident beam energies between 10 and 45 AGeV corresponding to high net-baryon densities and moderate temperatures of the phase diagram of nuclear matter. Anisotropic flow defined as a correlation between the azimuthal angle of an outgoing particle and the azimuthal angle of the impact parameter offers the access to equation of state...
