Nota di contenuto

Quark Matter Production in Heavy-Ion Collisions -- Theory of High-Energy A+A at RHIC -- Dense Quark Matter in Compact Stars -- Theory of the Quark-Gluon Plasma -- Thermal Gauge Field Theories -- Lattice QCD at High Temperature and Density -- Nonperturbative Phenomena and Phases of QCD -- The Color Glass Condensate and Small-x Physics.

Sommario/riassunto

This set of lectures deals with the transition from nuclear matter to quark matter. The reader will learn not only about the theory of quark-gluon plasmas but also how they are obtained in the laboratory through heavy-ion collisions or where they can be found in astrophysical objects such as compact stars. The book fills a gap between well-known textbook material and the research literature and is thus perfectly suited for postgraduate students who wish to enter this field, for lecturers looking for advanced material for their courses and for scientists in search of a modern source of reference on these topics.

Sommario/riassunto

Reviews of this book: "Peter Fritzsche's unusual and enthralling history is about the most pervasive of [Germany's] dreams, the national dream of an empire of the air." --Martin Pawley, The Guardian "An important, thought-provoking study." --Dissent "An excellent book, beautifully written.There is really nothing quite like it in the field.Its combination of solid scholarship, appealing writing, and provocative thought makes it an important contribution to our understanding of modern German military history." --Edward Homze, Air Power History "A fascinating tale that provides a refreshing perspective on the history of early twentieth-century Germany, and Peter Fritzsche has told it with flair, passion, and an array of evidence taken from a wide range of little-known sources." --Robert Wohl, German Politics and Society "A fundamental breakthrough in the development of an understanding of how technology fed a Faustian vision of modernism in which nationalism and industrial society became ever more compatible and ever more popular.A model in its insight into the correlation of technology and the popular imagination in the twentieth century." --Ronald Warloski, American Historical Review "Peter Fritzsche presents a remarkable blend of technological, social, and cultural history in his study of the



popular German reaction to early aviation.His findings have sizable implications for all scholars of twentieth-century Germany." --Norman W. Goda, German Studies Review
