Relativistic Heavy Ion Physics
The microscopic theory of nucleus-nucleus collisions can be based on relativistic transport equations of the various hadronic reactions for either hadrons or quarks/diquarks (`string-like' excitations) at higher center of mass energies. Of particular interest are the collective properties of such reactions like the production of strangeness or charm quarks. The prominent aim in the experiments carried out at ultrarelativistic energies is the search for a new state of matter, the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), where the quark and gluon degrees of freedom are deliberated over a macroscopic space-time region.
