Advanced Series on Directions in High Energy Physics - Vol. 6

QUARK-GLUON PLASMA

edited by R C Hwa (University of Oregon, USA)

This volume contains 14 review articles on the theory and phenomenology of the creation and diagnosis of quark-gluon plasma. They are written by active investigators of in the various research topics, which range from the QCD foundation through transport theory and thermalization models to the examination of possible signatures. The monograph should be useful not only to the experienced researchers in the subject but also to newcomers.
