Accounting for in-medium effects requires Accounting for in-medium effects requires off-shell transport models off-shell transport models

Models predict predict changes of the particle properties in the hot changes of the particle properties in the hot and dense mediumand dense medium, e.g. broadening of the spectral function , e.g. broadening of the spectral function

HSDHSD** off-shell transport approach: off-shell transport approach:

Generalized transport equationsGeneralized transport equations on the basis of the Kadanoff-Baym on the basis of the Kadanoff-Baym equations for Greens functionsequations for Greens functions accounting for the first order gradient accounting for the first order gradient expansion of the Wigner transformed Kadanoff-Baym equations beyond expansion of the Wigner transformed Kadanoff-Baym equations beyond the quasiparticle approximation (i.e. beyond standard on-shell models)the quasiparticle approximation (i.e. beyond standard on-shell models)

The off-shell spectral functions change their properties dynamically The off-shell spectral functions change their properties dynamically by propagation through the medium and become on-shell in the vacuumby propagation through the medium and become on-shell in the vacuum

Summary Summary

• SIS-100 is well situated to study in-medium effectsSIS-100 is well situated to study in-medium effects due to due to the high baryon densities and long reaction timesthe high baryon densities and long reaction times

• dilepton spectradilepton spectra - according to the HSD predictions - show - according to the HSD predictions - show sizeable changes due to the different in-medium scenarios (as sizeable changes due to the different in-medium scenarios (as collisional broadening and dropping mass) which can be collisional broadening and dropping mass) which can be observed experimentallyobserved experimentally

• fraction of the partonic phase is small at FAIR energiesfraction of the partonic phase is small at FAIR energies => PHSD gives practically the same results as HSD => PHSD gives practically the same results as HSD (except (except for multi-strange antibaryons)for multi-strange antibaryons) when the lQCD EoS (where when the lQCD EoS (where the phase transition is always a cross-over) is used the phase transition is always a cross-over) is used
