The project aims to search for a possible formation of a strongly interacting mixed quark-hadron phase. The relevant problems are exemplified. A need for scanning heavy-ion interactions in bombarding energy, collision centrality and isospin asymmetry is emphasized.23 pages, 16 figures, LaTeX, talk given at XXXIII International Conference On High Energy Physics (ICHEP'06), Moscow, 26.07- 02.08, 2006Nuclear TheoryHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyNuclear Experimenttext
