The HADES detector is a versatile fixed-target collision experiment that operates with ion beams of a few GeV provided by the SIS18 synchrotron, and probes the systems created in such collisions [...] Similar properties of matter are expected to form in merging neutron stars, making low-energy heavy-ion collisions a unique opportunity to study the microscopic and macroscopic properties of such matter [...] beams to study the properties of hadronic resonances and provide reference measurements for heavy-ion collisions. Recently, HADES is also set to analyze Au+Au and C+C collisions at kinetic beam energies
