Why do we believe QCD is a good description of the strong interaction?
Deep inelastic scattering: There are quarks.

Relativistic heavy ions
•Two concentric superconducting magnet rings, 3.8 km circum.
•A-A (up to Au), p-A, p-p collisions, eventual polarized protons
•Funded by U.S. Dept. of Energy $616 million
•Construction began Jan. 1991, first collisions June 2000
•Annual operating cost $100 million
•Reached 10% of design luminosity in 2000 (1st physics run)!!
•AGS: fixed target, 4.8 GeV/nucleon pair
•SPS: fixed target, 17 GeV/nucleon pair
•RHIC: collider, 200 GeV/nucleon pair
•LHC: collider, 5.4 TeV/nucleon pair

The goalsEstablish/characterize the expected QCD deconfinement phase transition
quarks+gluons hadrons
Establish/characterize changes in the QCD vacuum at high energies: chiral symmetry restoration and/or disoriented chiral condensates
Polarized proton physics

Measured value
•Strange particle enhancement and particle yields
•Temperature
•J/ and ’ production/suppression
•Vector meson masses and widths
•identical particle quantum correlations
•DCC - isospin fluctuations
•Flow of particles/energy (azimuthal asymmetries)
•jet quenching
Each variable has different experimental systematics and model dependences on extraction and interpretation
