Description |
Since the very moment of the discovery of QCD, scientists have
speculated that under extreme conditions, high temperature and/or high density, a hardronic system will be transferred into a de-confined state where quark and gluon degrees of freedom dominate. Calculations based on modern quantum gauge theory have demonstrated the transition between a hadronic to a partonic system. More recently, theoretical calculations have also indicated a rich structure of QCD matter that varies as a function of baryon density and temperature.
