Abstract

After a brief review of critical behaviour in finite temperature QCD, we survey the crucial features of deconfinement probes to be used in high energy nuclear collision studies. In the following we consider in particular charmonium dissociation as such a probe, discussing first the theoretical aspects and then an analysis of the experimental situation up to now. We close with some comments on what further studies are required to establish deconfinement in high energy heavy ion experiments.
