Melting Hadrons Boiling Quarks From Hagedorn Temperature to Ultrarelativistic Heavyion Collisions at Cern

This book shows how the study of multi-hadron production phenomena in the years after the founding of CERN culminated in Hagedorn's pioneering idea of limiting temperature, leading on to the discovery of the quark-gluon plasma – announced, in February 2000 at CERN.
