Quark Matter: Proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Ultra-Relativistic Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions - Quark Matter 1987 Nordkirchen, FRG, 24-28 August 1987

From the Editors Preface: "Quark Matter 1987 was attended by about 250 scientists, representing 75 research institutions around the world — the scientific community engaged in experimental and theoretical studies of high energy nuclear collisions. The central theme of the meeting was the possibility of achieving extreme energy densities in extended systems of strongly interacting matter — with the ultimate aim of creating in the laboratory a deconfined state of matter, a state in which quar...
