High $p_T$ resonances as a possibility to explore hot and dense nuclear matter

Abstract : One of the fundamental objectives of experiments with ultrarelativistic heavy ions is to explore strongly interacting matter at high density and high temperature. In this investigation we study in particular the information which can be obtained by analyzing baryonic and mesonic resonances. The decay products of these resonances carry information on the resonances properties at the space time point of their decay. We especially investigate the percentage of reconstructable resonances as a function of density for heavy ion collisions in the energy range between $E_{lab}$ = 30 AGeV and $\sqrt{s}$ = 200 AGeV, the energy domain between the future FAIR facility and the present RHIC collider.
