Popis: During the first year of Au+Au collisions at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory, 130 A·GeV collisions were observed and analyzed in the hopes of finding some signal of a new state of matter. This new state of matter, the quark-gluon plasma or QGP, can be described as a deconfined state of freely interacting quarks and gluons within a certain volume of the collision fireball. Since the lifetime and size of this state are both small
