This book shows how the study of multi-hadron production phenomena
in the years after the founding of CERN culminated in Hagedorn's
pioneering idea of limiting temperature, leading on to the
discovery of the quark-gluon plasma -- announced, in February 2000
at CERN. Following the foreword by Herwig Schopper -- the Director
General (1981-1988) of CERN at the key historical juncture -- the
first part is a tribute to Rolf Hagedorn (1919-2003) and includes
contributions by contemporary friends and colleagues, and those who
were most touched by Hagedorn: Tamas Biro, Igor Dremin, Torleif
Ericson, Marek Gazdzicki, Mark Gorenstein, Hans Gutbrod, Maurice
Jacob, Istvan Montvay, Berndt Muller, Grazyna Odyniec, Emanuele
Quercigh, Krzysztof Redlich, Helmut Satz, Luigi Sertorio, Ludwik
Turko, and Gabriele Veneziano. The second and third parts retrace
20 years of developments that after discovery of the Hagedorn
temperature in 1964 led to its recognition as the melting point of
hadrons into boiling quarks, and to the rise of the experimental
relativistic heavy ion collision program. These parts contain
previously unpublished material authored by Hagedorn and Rafelski:
conference retrospectives, research notes, workshop reports, in
some instances abbreviated to avoid duplication of material, and
rounded off with the editor's explanatory notes. About the editor:
Johann Rafelski is a theoretical physicist working at The
University of Arizona in Tucson, USA. Bor n in 1950 in Krakow,
Poland, he received his Ph.D. with Walter Greiner in Frankfurt,
Germany in 1973. Rafelski arrived at CERN in 1977, where in a joint
effort with Hagedorn he contributed greatly to the establishment of
the relativistic heavy ion collision, and quark-gluon plasma
research fields. Moving on, with stops in Frankfurt and Cape Town,
to Arizona, he invented and developed the strangeness quark flavor
as the signature of quark-gluon plasma.
