Relativistic Heavy Ion Physics
Collisions of nuclei at relativistic energies give us a tool to study
nuclear matter in extreme conditions (temperatures and energy
densities). It is expected that nuclei can be melted into a
quark-gluon plasma liberating the quark and gluon degrees of freedom.
This course gives a basic theoretical background needed for
understanding of the QGP phase transition of nuclear matter and the
experimental observables that carry the signatures of this transition.
A brief survey of experimental results will be presented as well.
