Description
High energy nucleus-nucleus collisions are used for the search for the quark-gluon plasma, a state of matter predicted by lattice QCD. Results from Au+Au, p+p and d+Au collisions at √(s)=130 GeV and 200 GeV are presented. The temperature, size, energy and parton density of the system are determined. The early phase of the collision t≤1 fm/c can be tested tested in particular by hard parton scattering (i.e. jet production) and production of heavy particles, which requires a high temperature T≥300 MeV. Comparisons to the primordial phase of the universe are made
