Thermodynamics And Equations Of State For Matter: From Ideal Gas To Quark-gluon Plasma

The monograph presents a comparative analysis of different thermodynamic models of the equations of state. The basic ideological premises of the theoretical methods and the experiment are considered. The principal attention is on the description of states that are of greatest interest for the physics of high energy concentrations which are either already attained or can be reached in the near futu...
