dc.descriptionThe production and propagation of mesons ($π, η, ρ, ω, Φ, K, \bar{K}, J/Ψ$) in proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions from 1 - 200 GeV/u is studied within the covariant transport approach HSD, which explicitly allows to investigate selfenergy effects of the hadrons at finite baryon density. Whereas the experimental pion and $K^+$ spectra can be described without introducing any selfenergies for the mesons, the $K^-$ yield in Ni + Ni collisions is underestimated by a factor of 5 - 7 at 1.66 and 1.85 GeV/u. However, introducing density dependent antikaon masses in line with effective chiral Lagrangians a satisfactory agreement with the data is achieved. A dropping of the $ρ$-meson mass with baryon density, as suggested by QCD sumrule studies, is proposed to explain the dilepton spectra for S + Au and Pb + Au at SPS energies, which indicates independently that a partial restoration of chiral symmetry might be found already in the present experiments.
