Abstract:FOREWORDThe International Symposium on Multiparticle Dynamics (ISMD) is a conference series that began in Paris in 1970. The conference is dedicated to the yearly summary of the most interesting results concerning the processes of multiple production of hadrons induced by high-energy photon, lepton, hadron and heavy ion reactions as well as particle astrophysics.The XXXVI ISMD, or ISMD 2006, was held in Paraty, a charming, well preserved colonial style small town, located in the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil… Show more
“…In fact, this structure (step) strongly resembles the behavior of water, where a plateau can be observed in the temperature when heat is added. Models (not shown) without phase transition do not reproduce the A + A data, but a hydrodynamical model incorporating a deconfinement phase transition at SPS energies [49] describes the results in Fig. 14 (right) quite well.…”
Section: Sps and Lower Rhic Energies: "Boiling Water"mentioning
The recent results on relativistic heavy-ion collisions are discussed. The most convincing quarkgluon plasma signatures at the LHC and the top RHIC energies are presented. Moreover, the possible methods of evaluating the energy threshold for deconfinement (onset of deconfinement) are described, and the corresponding results from the RHIC Beam Energy Scan and the SPS programs are shown. Additionally, the first signatures of creating dense and collectively behaving systems in collisions of small nuclei (or even in elementary interactions) are discussed. Finally, the current status of experimental search for the critical point of strongly interacting matter is summarized.
