标题： Nucleation of Quark--Gluon Plasma Droplets

摘要： 在AGS（相对论重离子对撞机）上大核对心碰撞时所达到的能量密度可能足够高，从而使夸克-胶子等离子体的形成成为可能。 我们提出，在AGS能量下的大多数碰撞会产生过热的强子物质，但在罕见事件中会形成一个夸克-胶子等离子体小液滴。 我们基于均匀成核和非均匀成核理论估算这种现象发生的概率，并讨论可能的实验信号。 显示英文摘要

摘要： The energy densities achieved during central collisions of large nuclei at the AGS may be high enough to allow the formation of quark--gluon plasma. We propose that most collisions at AGS energies produce superheated hadronic matter, but in rare events a droplet of quark--gluon plasma is nucleated. We estimate the probability of this to occur based on homogeneous and inhomogeneous nucleation theory and discuss possible experimental signals.
