Chiral symmetry, di-electrons and charm

TL;DR

This paper reviews how di-electrons, strange, and charm mesons can signal chiral symmetry restoration in strongly interacting media, relevant for ongoing and future experiments at FAIR.

Contribution

It highlights the potential of di-electrons, strange, and charm mesons as probes for in-medium modifications related to chiral symmetry restoration in experimental settings.

Findings

Di-electrons can reveal in-medium modifications of hadrons.

Strange and charm mesons are promising signals for chiral restoration.

The paper discusses experimental prospects at FAIR.

Abstract

We survey some prospects of identifying further in-medium modifications of hadrons in a strongly interacting medium with respect to ongoing experiment series of the HADES Collaboration and planned experiments of the CBM Collaboration at FAIR. Di-electrons, strange and charm mesons are considered and their potential for signaling imprints of chiral restoration is highlighted.
