Signatures of Quark-Gluon Plasma Phase Transition in High-Energy Nuclear Collisions

Conference ·
OSTI ID:771552
In high-energy nuclear collisions, the new phase of the quark-gluon plasma is indicated by an anomalous increase in pressure, an excess of direct photon production, an excess of strangeness production, and an anomalous J/{psi} suppression. We review these signatures and discuss how recent high-energy heavy-ion experiments at CERN are consistent with the production of the quark-gluon plasma in high-energy Pb+Pb collisions.
