Different theoretical and experimental aspects of the program to produce QGP in relativistic heavy-ion collisions are covered by experts in the field. This is the third volume in a series on the subject, and the first such monograph to focus on the implications of the experimental results from RHIC, the relativistic heavy-ion collider at the National Brookhaven Laboratory. The review articles will be useful to experienced researchers as well as to graduate students entering the field. <br><i>Contents: </i><ul><li>Thermodynamics and In-MeQuark-gluon plasmaCongressesHeavy ion collisionsCongressesQuantum chromodynamicsCongressesQuark-gluon plasmaHeavy ion collisionsQuantum chromodynamics530.4/4530.44539.72167Hwa Rudolph C47895Wan Xin-Nian1563187MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782285203321Quark--Gluon plasma 33831383UNINA
