This volume collects the invited lectures and contributed talks of
the NATO Advanced Studies Institute (ASI) held in Kemer/Turkey,
from 22nd September to 2 October 2003. The meeting brought together
experts from several fields in nuclear physics in which rapid
progress has been made in recent years.
Ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions have been investigated at
CERN and at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). Several
talks review the present status of experiments and develop the
theory of nuclear reactions at ultrarelativistic collisions
energies. The properties of hot and dense hadronic matter are
studied and the predictions of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) for
quark deconfinement and the phase transition to the Quark Gluon
Plasma are described. The dynamical description of phase
transitions in small systems and the methods of nonequilibrium many
body theory are covered by several speakers. Furthermore the
available information on the nuclear equation of state, the
properties of cold dense quark matter, and colour superconductivity
are presented in this volume. The close connection of these
questions with astrophysics is drawn in several contributions
related to the structure of stars, the dark matter problem, and the
early universe. A second focal point of the ASI, besides highly
energetic heavy ion collisions, is the physics of exotic nuclei far
off stability and superheavy elements. Several leading experts in
this field discuss the structure, the decay modes and lifetimes of
superheavy nuclei both from the theoretical and the experimental
points of view. Additional topics are the description of fusion and
fission processes, the properties of halo nuclei and nucleibeyond
the line of particle stability.
