In this article we review the important role of non-equilibrium dynamics in reactions induced by ions and hadron beams to understand the fragmentation processes inside hadronic media. We discuss the single-particle dynamics in specific sources such as spectators in heavy-ion collisions and residual nuclear targets in hadron-induced reactions. Particular attention is given to the dynamics of hyperons. We further discuss the question regarding the onset of local instabilities, which are relevant for the appearance of fragmentation phenomena in nuclear reactions. We apply the theoretical formalism, that is, semi-classical transport embedded with statistical methods of nuclear fragmentation, to reactions induced by light ions and hadron beams. We discuss the results of nuclear fragmentation and, in particular, examine the formation of hypernuclei. Such studies are important for obtaining a deeper understanding of the equation of state in fragmenting matter and are relevant for forthcoming experiments, such as PANDA at FAIR and J-PARC in Japan.

Collisions of heavy nuclei at (ultra-)relativistic energies provide a fascinating opportunity to re-create various forms of matter in the laboratory. For a short extent of time (10-22 s), matter under extreme conditions of temperature and density can exist. In dedicated experiments, one explores the microscopic structure of strongly interacting matter and its phase diagram. In heavy-ion reactions at SIS18 collision energies, matter is substantially compressed (2–3 times ground-state density), while moderate temperatures are reached (T < 70 MeV). The conditions closely resemble those that prevail, e.g., in neutron star mergers. Matter under such conditions is currently being studied at the High Acceptance DiElecton Spectrometer (HADES). Important topics of the research program are the mechanisms of strangeness production, the emissivity of matter, and the role of baryonic resonances herein. In this contribution, we will focus on the important experimental results obtained by HADES in Au+Au collisions at 2.4 GeV center-of-mass energy. We will also present perspectives for future experiments with HADES and CBM at SIS100, where higher beam energies and intensities will allow for the studies of the first-order deconfinement phase transition and its critical endpoint.

We consider the cluster decay of 56Ni* formed in heavy-ion collisions, by using different parameters proposed by different authors for the Fermi density distribution and the nuclear radius. Our study reveals that different technical parameters do not alter significantly the structure of fractional yields. The cluster decay half-lives of different clusters lie within ±10% for different Fermi density parameters and nuclear radii and, therefore, justify the current set of parameters used in the literature for the calculation of cluster decays.

The HADES experiment aims to explore strongly interacting baryon dominated matter at moderate temperatures using rare and penetrating probes. Special emphasis is put on the region of moderate beam energies where comparatively long-lived states of compressed matter are created. In the energy domain of 1–2 GeV per nucleon, HADES has measured hadrons and di-electron signals in C + C , Ar + KCl , p+p, d+p and p+ Nb collisions. For the first time the electron pairs were reconstructed from quasi-free n+p sub-reactions by detecting the proton spectator from the deuteron breakup. For the first time di-electrons radiated from cold nuclear matter in a kinematic regime, where strong medium effects are expected, have been detected. An experimentally constrained N + N reference spectrum was established. A direct comparison of the N + N reference spectrum with the e+e- invariant mass distribution measured in the heavier system Ar + KCl at 1.76 GeV/u shows an excess yield above the reference. The observation may be interpreted as the onset of an actual medium effect. We argue, that couplings between the ρ meson and the baryonic resonances are of fundamental importance in understanding dilepton spectra at SIS energies.

We study the Anderson Localization effect on the shear viscosity in a system with random medium by Kubo formula. We show that this effect can reduce the shear viscosity nonperturbatively. Then we discuss its possible implementation in heavy-ion collisions, where the created heavy bound states or other collective modes may play the role of the random scatterer underlying Anderson Localization effect.
