Abstract:
Dr. Phyllis Freier and his team, in 1948, begun the studies of the relativistic heavy ion collisions using cosmic rays. Since the beginning of the '70, accelerator systems have been used for such studies. At the JINR Dubna, the Synchrophasotron U-10 and a linear accelerator, for injection, have been used for investigation of the cumulative negative pions production in d-C collisions at 5 A GeV. After this moment, many people worked in the filed and extremely scientific results have been obtained. In the fifty years of relativistic and ultra-relativistic heavy ion Physics using accelerator systems many important results and discoveries have been reported, including those related to the quark-gluon plasma formation and connections with the Big Bang cosmological scenario. This work try to present the involvement of members of the staff and students of the Faculty of Physics, University of Bucharest, in this very interesting and important filed, from the cumulative production of the pions, to the quark-gluon plasma formation and new Physics.
