The quest for a Quark-Gluon Plasma

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2025-08-12 v1

Abstract

A chapter in a book"50 years of QGP" An extended summary of the field can be found in large books and reviews, e.g., my take in Ref.~\cite{Shuryak:2024zrh}. It is hard to compress its 600+ pages and 50+ years of research to a few given below. Those include only recollection of few episodes, from early days to now, showing how vague dreams were eventually turning into solid and detailed scientific facts.
