内容简介

This book focuses on the physics of Standard Modle of strong and electroweak interactions and ist extensions at hign temperatures and denities-conditions which occur in the early Universe,inside neutron stars,and which will be probde on Earth in heavy ion collision experiments.Advances in both theoretical understnaing and phenomenological applications are also discussed.The topics include effective theories for dynamical processes at high temperatures,thermodynamics of gauge theories,non-equilibrium processes(particularly when applied to baryon number generation),and theories beyond the Standard Modes.An important aspect is the numerical computer simulations.The phase structure of QCD and the phenomenlolgy of havy ion collisions are also reviewed.
