Strongly interacting matter: the CBM physics book

This exhaustive survey is the result of a four year effort by many leading researchers in the field to produce both a readable introduction and a yardstickfor the many upcoming experiments using heavy ion collisions to examine the properties of nuclear matter. The books falls naturally into five large parts, first examining the bulk properties of strongly interacting matter, including its equation of state and phase structure. Part II discusses elementary hadronic excitations of nuclear matter, Part III addresses the concepts and models regarding the space-time dynamics of nuclear collision experiments, Part IV collects the observables from past and current high-energy heavy-ion facilities in the context of the theoretical predictions specific to compressed baryonic matter. Part V finally gives a brief description of the experimental concepts. The book explicitly addresses everyone working or planning to enter the field of high-energy nuclear physics. The ultimate and exhaustive introduction and review of the topic by leading scientists in the field Comprehensive account, written by leading researchers in the field Suitable also for self-study and advanced level teaching INDICE: Part 0: General Introduction.- Part I: Bulk Properties of StronglyInteracting Matter.- Part II: In-Medium Excitations.- Part III Collision Dynamics.- Part IV: Observables and Predictions.- Part V The CBM Experiment.- Glossary.- References.
