Abstract:
In 1948, Dr. Phyllis Freier group discovered the heavy ion component of the cosmic radiations and a new era in the study of the structure of matter, origin and evolution of the Universe was opened. After the cosmic rays period, the era of the accelerator systems begun in 1970. This new era has 3 interesting stages. This work is dedicated to the presentation of the major results obtained in the field on bulk properties of the nuclear matter, collision dynamics, nuclear matter phases and phase transitions in hot and dense nuclear matter formed in relativistic and ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions. The important results obtained in this field by the staff members of the Faculty of Physics will be stressed.
