Relativistic Quark Physics
by Johann Rafelski
Publisher: arXiv.org 1998
Number of pages: 50
Description:
We present a brief survey of the development of nuclear physics towards relativistic quark physics. This is followed by a thorough discussion of the quest for the observation of the dissolution of nuclear matter into the deconfined quark matter (QGP) in relativistic nuclear collisions. Use of strange particle signatures in search for QGP is emphasized.
