The QCD vacuum and quark-gluon plasma

  • Published:

Abstract

In this talk we consider present status in understanding of the QCD vacuum structure and the nature of phase transitions, separating hadronic matter from the quark-gluon plasma. We also briefly discuss the simplest signals for this phase transition in high energy collisions.
