High-temperature QCD and relativistic heavy ion collisions — •Dietrich Bödeker — Fakutät für Physik, Universität Bielefeld, D-33516 Bielefeld

Relativistic collisions of large nuclei create strongly interacting matter at high energy densities. If there are sufficiently many interactions such a system will thermalize which would allow for a study of Quantum Chromodynamics at finite temperature. I discuss recent theoretical developments in this field and their confrontation with experimental data.
