  1. Physics of High Baryon Densities - The CBM experiment at FAIR Peter Senger (GSI) Outline:  Exploring the QCD phase diagram  Physics questions and observables  CBM capabilities CBM Meeting /ROOTworkshop Jammu, Feb. 2008

  2. Fundamental Questions of QCD  What is the equation-of-state of strongly interacting matter? (core collapse supernovae, neutron stars, early universe)  What is the structure of strongly interacting matter as a function of T and ρB ? (hot and dense hadronic medium, deconfined phase, phase transitions ?)  What are the in-medium properties of hadrons as a function of T and ρB ? (partial restoration of chiral symmetry ?) compression + heating = QGP ?

  3. Super-dense matter in nature: neutron star Strange degrees of freedom ? In-medium properties of hadrons ? Compressibility of nuclear matter? Deconfinement at high baryon densities ? F. Weber J.Phys. G27 (2001) 465
