Modifications of hadron masses and some of their basic properties with temperature or nuclear density are considered as one possible signature for the formation of dense hadronic matter in nuclear collisions. We discuss here some basic…

I discuss two issues related to high "radial" excitations which attracted much attention recently: (i) chiral symmetry restoration in excited mesons and baryons, and (ii) universality of the rho-meson coupling in QCD and AdS/QCD. New…
The parton recombination model has turned out to be a valuable tool to describe hadronization in high energy heavy ion collisions. I review the model and revisit recent progress in our understanding of hadron correlations. I also discuss…

The specific heat of hot hadronic matter is related to particle production yields from experiments done at CERN/RHIC. The mass fluctuation of excited hadrons plays an important role. Connections of the specific heat, mean hadronic mass…

We discuss the possibility to observe hadron modification in hot matter via the correlation of identical particles. We find that the hadron modification causes a new type of correlation, back-to-back correlation.
Certain spacelike mesonic correlation lengths serve as interesting theoretical probes for the reliability of perturbation theory in high-temperature QCD, are directly sensitive to chiral symmetry restoration and to the axial anomaly, and…
We discuss phases of hot and dense hadronic matter using chiral Lagrangians. A two-flavored parity doublet model constrained by the nuclear matter ground state predicts chiral symmetry restoration. The model thermodynamics is shown within…
