3319175440 pdf This book shows how the study of multi-hadron production phenomena in the years after the founding of CERN culminated in Hagedorn's pioneering idea of limiting temperature, leading on to the discovery of the quark-gluon plasma announced, in February 2000 at CERN. Following the foreword by Herwig Schopper the Director General (1981-1988) of CERN at the key historical juncture the first part is a tribute to Rolf Hagedorn (1919-2003) and includes contributions by contemporary friends and colleagues, and those who were most touched by Hagedorn: Tams Bir, Igor Dremin, Torleif Ericson, Marek Gadzicki, Mark Gorenstein, Hans Gutbrod, Maurice Jacob, Istvn Montvay, Berndt Mller, Grazyna Odyniec, Emanuele Quercigh, Krzysztof Redlich, Helmut Satz, Luigi Sertorio, Ludwik Turko, and Gabriele Veneziano.
