Abstract
We study mesonic and baryonic correlation functions in the temporal directions in the vicinity of the critical temperature using the instanton liquid model. In this model chiral symmetry restoration is driven by the formation of instanton-antiinstanton molecules. Although we find the signals for all hadronic poles to be drastically reduced, some hadronic states seem to survive the phase transition, as loosely bound chiral multiplets in the plasma phase. These states are the mesons and the baryons.
