This new quantity, I/23, of the Landolt-Börnstein facts assortment sequence keeps a practice inaugurated through the past due Editor-in-Chief, Professor Werner Martienssen, to supply within the kind of an encyclopedia a precis of the implications and concepts of Relativistic Heavy Ion Physics. previously, the Landolt-Börnstein sequence used to be more often than not referred to as a compilation of numerical information and sensible relatives, however it was once felt that the extra accomplished precis undertaken right here should still meet an pressing function. quantity I/23 reviews at the current kingdom of theoretical and experimental wisdom within the box of Relativistic Heavy Ion Physics. what's intended through this really technical terminology is the examine of strongly interacting subject, and its stages (in brief QCD topic) via nucleus-nucleus collisions at relativistic strength. The earlier decade has visible a dramatic growth, and widening of scope during this box, which addresses one of many leader last open frontiers of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and, in a much broader feel, the "Standard version of ordinary Interactions". the knowledge because of the CERN SPS, BNL AGS and GSI SIS experiments, and particularly additionally from virtually a decade of experiments performed on the "Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider"(RHIC) at Brookhaven, were absolutely analyzed, uncovering a wealth of knowledge approximately either the limited and deconfined stages of QCD at excessive strength density.

The dissociation of quarkonium states in a deconfined medium, as compared to their survival in hadronic matter, can also be considered on a more dynamical level, using the J/ψ as example. The J/ψ is a hadron with characteristic short-distance features; in particular, rather hard gluons are necessary to resolve or dissociate it, making such a dissociation accessible to perturbative calculations. J/ψ collisions with ordinary hadrons made up of the usual u, d and s quarks thus probe the local partonic structure of these ‘light’ hadrons, not their global hadronic aspects, such as mass or size.
