New experimental facilities at Darmstadt (GSI) and Berkeley (LBL) allow for the first time the experimental investigation of correlations of secondary particles - pions and other mesons - with the outgoing baryon resonance matter. This is important to probe the properties of hot and dense baryon rich matter in heavy ion collisions. It has been though that the pion-multiplicity reflects the thermal energy per nucleon in addition to the compressional energy of high nuclear density. The large cross section for pion nucleon interactions in the middle and late phases of heavy ion collisions has severely hampered the usefulness of pion spectra in the investigation of nuclear properties and reaction dynamics. The new experimental setups KaoS and FOPI (together with TAPS and LAND) at GSI and EOS/TPC at LBL enable the authors to investigate the emission pattern and properties of secondary particles in a far more detailed manner than ever before.
