自上一篇关于夸克-胶子等离子体的评论专着首次出现以来已经五年了。在随后的几年中，该主题的理论研究取得了很大进展，但在实验室中产生热化等离子体的无可争议的证据仍然难以捉摸。连接理论和实验的重要一步是开发计算机代码，模拟重离子碰撞的详细演化过程，并考虑部分子动力学。帕顿产生和平衡已成为重要的研究课题，可以揭示热化过程。在晶格规范理论、高温场理论和手性相变等更具理论性的领域也取得了显着的进展。在现象学领域，人们在进一步理解强子特征的特征方面取得了长足的进步，从原始状态的硬探测到最终状态的时空或奇异特征。因此，此时推出另一本评论专着是合适的，它可以像第一卷那样为社会提供同样的有用性。这里只包含理论论文的原因仍然与前面相同。如果对理论思想和方法的回顾是有用的，就必须有足够的空间来进行教学讨论。与实验结果不同，有页数限制的会议记录不是进行此类评论的适当媒介。即使有这样大的体积，也不能容纳所有有趣的开发。然而，其中所包含的内容无疑可以满足许多当前正在从事该主题或正在开始进入该主题的人的需求。
It has been five years since the first appearance of the previous review mono graph on quark-gluon plasma. In the intervening years much progress has been made in the theoretical investigation of the subject, while incontrovertible evidence for the creation of a thermalized plasma in the laboratory is still elusive. A sig nificant step in connecting theory and experiment has been the development of computer codes that simulate the detailed evolution process in heavy-ion collisions with parton dynamics taken into account. Parton production and equilibration have become important topics of investigation that can shed light on the thermalization process. There have also been notable advances made in areas of more theoretical nature such as lattice gauge theory, high-temperature field theory and chiral phase transition. In phenomenology great strides have been taken toward further under standing of the characteristics of the hadronic signatures, ranging from hard probes of the primordial state to the space-time or strangeness features of the final state. It is therefore opportune at this time to put forth another review monograph that can serve the community with as much usefulness as the first volume has.The reason for including only theoretical papers here is still the same as be fore. If reviews of theoretical ideas and methods are to be useful, it is necessary that sufficient space be available to allow for pedagogical discussions. Conference proceedings that have page limitations are not the proper medium for such reviews, unlike experimental results. Even with a volume of this size, not all interesting development can be accommodated. However, what are included can undoubtedly meet the needs of many who either are currently working in the subject or are beginning to enter into it.
