In this review monograph on quark-gluon plasma (QGP), different theoretical and experimental aspects of the effort to produce QGP in relativistic heavy-ion collisions are covered by various experts in the field. This is the third volume in a series on the subject, and the first such monograph to focus on the implications of the experimental results from the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven.
