In this contribution we discuss the physics of strange hadrons in low energy ($\simeq 1-2 \rm AGeV$) heavy ion collision. In this energy range the relevant strange particle are the kaons and anti-kaons. The most interesting aspect…
The recent past witnesses the growing interdependence between the physics of hadrons, the physics of relativistic heavy-ion collisions, and the physics of compact objects in astrophysics. A notable example is the kaon which plays special…
The multiple scatterings incurred by a hard quark produced in a nuclear medium induce the emission of soft gluons which carry a fraction of the quark energy and eventually affect the hadronization process. Here, the depletion of…

We report the recent results from the HADES experiment obtained in Au+Au and Ag+Ag collisions at center-of-mass energies per nucleon pair of 2.42 and 2.55 GeV, respectively. In particular, measurements of hadronic and dilepton observables…
We estimate the photon and dilepton emission rates from hot hadronic matter with in-medium spectral shift and broadening of vector mesons. It is observed that both the WA98 photon data and CERES/NA45 dilepton data can be well reproduced…
We analyse dilepton emission from hot and dense hadronic matter using a hybrid approach based on the Ultrarelativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (UrQMD) transport model with an intermediate hydrodynamic stage for the description of…
The theory of thermal photon and dilepton emission from a hot and dense hadronic gas, as well as from the Quark-Gluon Plasma, is reviewed in the context of extracting in-medium properties of the matter constituents. In phenomenological…
We establish the extent to which photons and dileptons are penetrating probes of hot hadronic matter by computing mean free paths. Absorption is indeed negligible for real photons as mean free paths are roughly tenths of \AAngstr\"oms.…

The photoproduction of vector mesons on various nuclei has been studied using the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) at Jefferson Laboratory. The vector mesons, $\rho$, $\omega$, and $\phi$, are observed via their decay to $e^+e^-$,…
Effective masses of $\rho$ and $\omega$ mesons in nuclear medium are studied in a hadronic effective theory. Both the pole position and the screening mass decrease in nuclear matter due to the polarization of the nucleon Dirac sea. The…
Exploring the mass modifications of $\phi$ mesons in nuclei provides insights into the nature of strongly interacting matter. Specifically, $\phi$ meson mass shifts can be related to the in-medium modification of the strange quark…
The in-medium spectral functions of $\rho$ and $\omega$ mesons and the broadening of the nucleon resonances at finite baryon density are calculated self-consistently by combining a resonance dominance model for the vector meson production…

We discuss how the possible changes of hadron properties can be tested, associated with the chiral transition in nuclear medium; the hadrons discussed are the vector mesons,the $\sigma$ meson and the chiral partner of the nucleon. We…
