Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions (China Center of Advanced Science and Technology Symposium/Workshop Proceedings, Vol 7)

Relativistic heavy-ions has become a major area of interest in both nuclear and high energy physics. Experimental activities at CERN and Brookhaven National Laboratory have produced exciting new results which may lead to the understanding of phase transitions in quantum chromodynamics as well as new developments involving quark-gluon plasmas. In this comprehensive volume, the world's leading experimental and theoretical authorities provide a cohesive study of this fast-evolving field including studies in nucleus-nucleus collisions, states of the vacuum and relativistic heavy-ions.
