Relativistic and Ultrarelativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions. Theoretical Aspects

University of Liège, Institute of Physics B.5, Sart Tilman, 4000 Liège 1, Belgium

Abstract

After having identified three energy domains with their characteristic dynamics, the following items are reviewed for each of these domains: the present theoretical knowledge of the relevant static properties of dense matter, the actual status of transport theories, the study of possible direct signals from dense matter and some open problems.
