Melting Hadrons, Boiling Quarks is a scientific book series edited by the US-based professor Johann Rafelski. The first volume is subtitled 'From Hagedorn Temperature to ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions at CERN'[1] and the volume in preparation will be subtitled ‘Quark-gluon plasma discovery at CERN’. In the foreword former Director-General of CERN, Herwig Schopper, states that the book fulfills two purposes which have been neglected for a long time. It delivers the proper credit to a physicist, Rolf Hagedorn, for his important role at the birth of a new research field, and it describes how a development which he started just 50 years ago is closely connected to the most recent surprises in the new experimental domain of relativistic heavy ion physics.
The series is published open-access[2] under the Creative Commons license 4.0. For a niche topic this volume enjoys a very large number of downloads demonstrating current interest in Hagedorn temperature, hadronic matter and relativistic heavy-ion collisions.
The first volume in the series is a tribute to Rolf Hagedorn (1919-2003). The book includes contributions by contemporary friends and colleagues: Tamás Biró, Igor Dremin, Torleif Ericson, Marek Gaździcki, Mark Gorenstein, Hans Gutbrod, Maurice Jacob, István Montvay, Berndt Müller, Grazyna Odyniec, Emanuele Quercigh, Krzysztof Redlich, Helmut Satz, Luigi Sertorio, Ludwik Turko, and Gabriele Veneziano.
Critical reception[edit]
Melting Hadrons, Boiling Quarks: From Hagedorn Temperature to Ultra-Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions at CERN received positive reviews. The CERN Courier described it as “… undoubtedly an ideal companion to all those who wish to recall the birth of one of the main areas of today’s concepts in high-energy physics, and it is definitely a well-deserved credit to one of the great pioneers in their development.”[3]
