Title:	The high density equation of state: constraints from accelerators and astrophysics
Abstract:	The quest for the nuclear equation of state (EoS) at high densities and/or extreme isospin is one of the longstanding problems of nuclear physics. Ab inito calculations for the nuclear many-body problem make predictions for the density and isospin dependence of the EoS far away from the saturation point of nuclear matter. On the other hand, in recent years substantial progress has been mode to constrain the EOS both, from the astrophysical side and from accelerator based experiments. Heavy ion experiments support a ``soft'' EoS at moderate densities while recent neutron star observations require a ``stiff'' high density behaviour. Both constraints are discussed and shown to be in agreement with the predictions from many-body theory.
