The past decade has seen the development of the operational understanding of fun- damental interactions within the standard model. This has detoured our attention from the great enigmas posed by the dynamics and collective behavior of strongly interacting particles. Discovered more than 30 years ago, the thermal nature of the hadronic particle spectra has stimulated considerable theoretical effort, which so far has failed to 'confirm' on the basis of microscopic interactions the origins of this phenomenon. However, a highly successful Statistical Bootstrap Model was developed by Rolf Hagedorn...

This volume explores the primordial state of hadronic matter called quark-gluon plasma. It covers the ongoing search to verify the prediction experimentally and discusses the physical properties of this novel form of matter. This 2002 title has been reissued as an Open Access publication on Cambridge Core.
