Title: Ultrarelativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions at CERN

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5285286

The aim of the NA-35 experiment is to study nuclear matter under extreme conditions. Evidence that conditions reached in 60 GeV/N and 200 GeV/N relativistic heavy ion collisions are adequate for the formation of a quark-gluon plasma where color would no longer be confined to hadronic dimensions is presented. Future plans for experiments in 1990--1991 with {sup 32}S beams and 1993 and up with Pb beams at the SPS are discussed. 26 refs., 23 figs., 3 tabs.
