Product Description: This text seeks to enable the reader to tackle the problem of hadronic deconfinement from different perspectives. After general introductions to the physical issues, from both the theoretical and the experimental point of view, it presents expertise on field theory approaches to the QCD phase diagram, many-body techniques and applications, the dynamics of phase transitions, and phenomenological analysis of relativistic heavy ion collisions...read more

Product Description: This set of lectures deals with the transition from nuclear matter to quark matter. The reader will learn not only about the theory of quark-gluon plasmas but also how they are obtained in the laboratory through heavy-ion collisions or where they can be found in astrophysical objects such as compact stars...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: Presents topics covered at the BNL summer study on QCD at nonzero temperature and density. This volume should be of interest to high energy and nuclear physicists.

Product Description: This collection of papers covers such topics as the natures of hadronic matter at high temperature and/or density and signals of quark-hadron phase transitions. It also discusses data of CERN and BNL nucleus-nucleus collisions, physics at RHIC, and LHC, the PS-Collider and collision simulators...read more
