Before matter as we know it emerged, the universe was filled with
the primordial state of hadronic matter called quark-gluon plasma.
This hot soup of quarks and gluons is effectively an inescapable
consequence of our current knowledge about the fundamental hadronic
interactions: quantum chromodynamics. This book covers the ongoing
search to verify the prediction experimentally and discusses the
physical properties of this novel form of matter. It begins with an
overview of the subject, followed by a discussion of experimental
methods and results. The second half of the book covers hadronic
matter in confined and deconfined form, and strangeness as a
signature of the quark-gluon phase. It is ideal as an introduction
for graduate students, as well as providing a valuable reference
for researchers already working in this and related fields. This
title, first published in 2002, has been reissued as an Open Access
publication on Cambridge Core.
