Abstract: 
The production and decay of vector mesons (rho,omega) in pA and AA reactions is studied with particular emphasis on their in-medium spectral functions. It is explored within transport calculations if hadronic in-medium decays like pi(+)pi(-) or pi(o)gamma might provide complementary information to their dilepton (e (+) e(-)) decays. Whereas the pi(+)pi(-) signal from the rho-meson is found to be strongly distorted by pion rescattering, the omega-meson Dalitz decay to pi(0)gamma appears promising even for more heavy nuclei in gammaA and pA reactions. Furthermore, the influence of nucleon and kaon/antikaon potentials on the K+/- yields and spectra in pA collisions is calculated and compared to the recent data from the ANKE Collaboration.
