At very high density and temperature, quarks and gluons come into play and a transition is expected to happen from a phase of nuclear matter consisting of confined hadrons and mesons to a state of `liberated' quarks and gluons. In this paper, we investigate the hadron-quark (HQ) phase transition occurs beyond the chiral phase transition in the nuclear matter. The results show that there exits a quarkyonic-like phase, appeared just before deconfinement, when the chiral symmetry is restored but the elementary excitation modes are still nucleonic. ER -
