Young, G R

Some issues pertinent to the design of collider rings for relativistic heavy ions are presented. Experiments at such facilities are felt to offer the best chance for creating in the laboratory a new phase of subatomic matter, the quark-gluon plasma. It appears possible to design a machine with sufficient exploration of the heaviest nuclei in nature, to allow a thorough exploration of quark-gluon plasma.
