Theoretical approaches to hadrons in nuclear matter

Abstract

We discuss recent developments concerning the in-medium properties of hadrons in dense and hot matter. The theoretical approaches are discussed in connection with the interpretation of experimental data from intermediate energy machines up to relativistic heavy ion collisions. Special emphasis is put on chiral restoration and its interplay with the substructure of the nucleon.

Pleanary talk presented at PANIC02, Sept 30- Oct 4, Osaka, Japan. To appear in the proceedings in Nuclear Physics A
