AbstractAbstract
[en] In 1980 we carried out an extensive series of experiments on alpha-alpha collisions in the ISR. The purpose of the experiment was to discover something new for example, to search for some evidence of new correlated behaviour, and, in particular, to search for the existence of the formation of a quark-gluon plasma. The reason for this hope lay in the fact that the ISR experiments were to be carried out at ultrarelativistic energies of 1000 GeV/c in the alpha cm. This is a region where it is known that the mean pion multiplicities are very large and it is possible to sample events with event multiplicities of at least 200. Another important feature was the fact that remarkable spectrometers existed at the ISR to make definitive studies of the whole event structure. The apparatus of the AFS had the capability of detecting 50 charged particles in an apparatus covering 85% of the total solid angle. The momentum of each particle could be measured with high accuracy and protons, kaons, pions and their antiparticles could be identified, along with neutral lambdas and kaons. The ability to handle large multiplicities was important in the study of violent collisions. To describe the results of these experiments we shall list below the titles of papers published, in press, or in preparation which will have been completed by the end of this fiscal year, commenting on the results and their significance
