SESZIONE DI TORINO
I will review the data and the theoretical analysis concerning the possible formation of a mixed phase of hadrons and quarks in experiments testing high baryonic densities and also in compact stars. The interplay between theory and experiments is becoming more and more strict due to the new detectors on-board x-ray satellites and to the possibility of lab experiments of heavy ion scattering at energies up to a few ten GeV per nucleon, at which the maximum baryonic density is reached.
