# Hadron modification in a dense baryonic matter

## TL;DR

This paper explores how the properties of hadrons, such as mesons and baryons, are altered in hot, dense nuclear matter, with implications for observable phenomena in heavy ion collisions.

## Contribution

It introduces modifications to hadron properties within the Strongly Correlated Quark Model in dense baryonic matter, linking theoretical predictions to experimental signals.

## Key findings

- In-medium modifications lead to strangeness enhancement.
- Vector meson masses decrease in dense environments.
- Predictions align with heavy ion collision observations.

## Abstract

Starting with the Strongly Correlated Quark Model of a hadron structure, SCQM, we demonstrate how the properties of mesons and baryons are modified in a hot and dense nuclear environment. These in-medium modifications can lead to the observable effects in heavy ion collisions, such as enhancement of strangeness and dropping vector meson masses.
