TY - JOUR A1 - Hees, Hendrik van A1 - Weil, Janus A1 - Endres, Stephan A1 - Bleicher, Marcus T1 - Electromagnetic probes in heavy-ion collisions - messengers from the hot and dense phase T2 - EPJ Web of Conferences N2 - Due to their penetrating nature, electromagnetic probes, i.e., lepton-antilepton pairs (dileptons) and photons are unique tools to gain insight into the nature of the hot and dense medium of strongly-interacting particles created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions, including hints to the nature of the restoration of chiral symmetry of QCD. Of particular interest are the spectral properties of the electromagnetic current-correlation function of these particles within the dense and/or hot medium. The related theoretical investigations of the in-medium properties of the involved particles in both the partonic and hadronic part of the QCD phase diagram underline the importance of a proper understanding of the properties of various hadron resonances in the medium.
