Abstract
We discuss the importance of temperature measurements for probing the properties of dense, hot hadron matter in relativistic nuclear collisions. The effects of the collective matter flow are considered. It is pointed out that information about the existence of a limiting temperatureT max≳m σ can only be obtained from future experimental facilities with beam energiesE LAS>5 GeV/n. We also discuss the possibility of observing abnormal nuclear matter via a secondary, high temperature component in the particle spectra and via a shoulder in the pion multiplicity distributions.
