Description
We investigate the phase transition from hadron to quark matter expected to take place in dense and/or hot matter in the general case without the assumption of chemical equilibrium. This is the case for matter produced in particle collisions, in very young, or recently merged neutron stars. In each of these cases, different conditions concerning temperature, density, strangeness and isospin are expected, all of which affect the deconfinement phase transition. We discuss and quantify how to translate future deconfinement signals from one case to another.
