Methods for investigating nuclear matter under the conditions characteristic of its transition to quark-gluon plasma

We briefly consider the properties of deep inelastic nuclear reactions on dense fluctuations of nuclear matter (fluctons). We discuss the properties of the fluctons, which can be many-quark bags or 'drops' of quark-gluon plasma: the characteristic parameters of nuclear matter in a flucton-temperature and density close to the critical values for a phase transition. These values can be reached or exceeded if the flucton-flucton collision events are separated out. The separation method is discussed
