About this book
Furthermore, calculations of dynamical quantities are also becoming available. The combined effort from first principles and experiment allows to gain an unprecedented understanding of the properties of quark-gluon plasma.
This concise text, geared towards postgraduate students and newcomers to the field, carefully introduces and reviews the state-of-the-art techniques and results from lattice simulations and connects them to the experimental information from RHIC and the LHC.

About the authors
Prof. Rene Bellwied is a Distinguished MD Anderson Professor of Physics at the University of Houston, TX, USA. He received his Ph.D. from the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany, in 1989, and was awarded a Feodor Lynen Fellowship from the Humboldt Foundation to continue his research as a Postdoctoral Fellow at Stony Brook University on Long Island, NY, USA. In 1991 he became an Assistant Professor at Wayne State University in Detroit, where he remained as a Professor until 2010. At the University Houston he became the group leader of the Experimental Nuclear Physics effort, which is involved in the STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) on Long Island, New York, and the ALICE experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland.
Dr. Bellwied was a founding member of the STAR collaboration. He served as one of eight project managers of STAR from 1992-2007, he was the deputy spokesperson of STAR from 2001-2002. He joined the ALICE experiment at CERN in 2010 and served as coordinator of the ALICE-USA collaboration from 2015-2018.
In addition, he was the Chair of the U.S. National User Facility Organization (NUFO) for four years (2008-2012) and served as an appointed member on the Physics Policy Committee (PPC) of the American Physical Society (APS). He is presently the Chair of the Texas Section of the APS. He is also the lead organizer of an annual international conference in his field, he serves on two peer-reviewed journal editorial boards, and he is a reviewer for the four highest impact Nuclear Physics journals, as well as the grant offices of the Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). He is a member of the Sigma-Xi Honors Society.
Prof. Bellwied has published over 1,000 peer-reviewed papers that gathered over 85,000 citations. His h-index is 151 according to Google Scholar.Bibliographic Information
