Strong and Electroweak matter 2000 : proceedings of the SEWM2000 meeting, Marseille, France, 13-17 June 2000

This volume contains articles by experts on the plasma phase of quantum chromodynamics and the plasma phase of electroweak interactions. The former plasma phase is being tested at RHIC (Brookhaven) and has been tested at CERN. Both plasmas have played roles in the development of the Universe since the Big Bang. A third topic is that of the high-density colour superconductive state of matter, which may be present in the core of neutron stars. This book should be of interest to PhD students, researchers and academics in particle physics.

Contents: Color Superconductivity in Compact Stars (M Alford et al.); Aspects of Parity, CP and Time Reversal Violation in Hot QCD (D Kharzeev et al.); El Because QCD is asymptotically free, its high temperature and high baryon density phases are more simply and more appropriately described in terms of quarks and gluons as degrees of freedom, rather than hadrons.
