Exploring hybrid star matter at NICA and FAIR

Abstract

We discuss constraints for the equation of state of hybrid star matter which can be obtained from heavy-ion collisions at FAIR and NICA. Particular emphasis is on the planned NICA facility at JINR Dubna which shall provide fixed-target and collider experiments just in the relevant energy ranges.
