Abstract: | The acceleration in 1986 of16O beams to 200 GeV/nucleon at the CERN SPS created a new frontier of particle and nuclear physics, namely the study of high energy density systems with hundreds of quarks and gluons created in the central collisions of nuclei with heavy targets. In order to produce the largest piece of “quark matter”, beams as heavy as208Pb are needed. The Lead-Injector Project that would provide them is presented. Possible experimental approaches to extract the physics from collisions with thousands of produced particles are discussed. |
