This conference will focus on the microscopic structure of dense matter and in-medium spectral functions through the study of dilepton decays of vector mesons. The event will also explore appropriate models to relate microscopic properties to observables in the context of quark-gluon plasma.

Comparison of C-C and elementary collisions • C-C yield can be explained by properly scaling p-p and d-p results. • No sensitivity on transverse momentum of spectator proton preliminary No evidence for “medium effects” in C-C collisions Joachim Stroth
