Abstract:
Recent progress is reviewed concerning the evidence for a phase change in strongly interacting matter, as predicted by Lattice QCD theory to occur at an energy density of about 23 GeV per cubic fermi. Experiments at the CERN SPS with Lead (208 Pb) beams show that such densities have been reached, and suggest a set of observable quantities to bear first evidence concerning the transition.
