Abstract
It is now commonly accepted that the equation of state of nuclear matter presents a phase transition at zero baryon density around a critical temperature of 160 MeV, above which the quarks would be deconfined and the chiral symmetry restored. Theoretically, this transition from hot nuclear matter to quark-gluon plasma (QGP) is fundamental, because deeply related to our understanding of the non-perturbative aspects of QCD. Therefore, major experimental programs have been (AGS, SPS) and will be (LHC, RHIC) developed to tackle the QGP.
