The exploration of hot and dense nuclear matter: introduction to relativistic heavy-ion physics

Abstract: This article summarizes our present knowledge about nuclear matter at the highest energy densities and its formation in relativistic heavy ion collisions. We review what is known about the structure and properties of the quark-gluon plasma and survey the observables that are used to glean information about it from experimental data.
