Abstract
With the recent advent of ultrarelativistic ion beams, a new frontier has become open to scrutiny: the physics at high energy density. It is at an energy density high enough above nuclear energy density (0.15 GeV/fm3) that matter is expected, by QCD, to exist in a quark-gluon plasma (QGP) phase. If the phase transition is of first order, a mixed phase would exist, with QGP bubbles in a hadron gas. The quest of the quark-gluon plasma is the main goal of experiments with high energy ion beams.
