The dynamics of partons and hadrons in relativistic nucleus-nucleus
collisions is analyzed within the novel Parton-Hadron-String Dynamics (PHSD)
transport approach, which is based on a dynamical quasiparticle model for the
partonic phase (DQPM) including a dynamical hadronization scheme. The PHSD
approach is applied to nucleus-nucleus collisions from low SPS to LHC energies.
The traces of partonic interactions are found in particular in the elliptic
flow of hadrons and in their transverse mass spectra. We investigate also the
equilibrium properties of strongly-interacting infinite parton-hadron matter
characterized by transport coefficients such as shear and bulk viscosities and
the electric conductivity in comparison to lattice QCD results.Comment: 6 pages, 7 figures, Proceedings of the STARS2013 and SMFNS2013
