Dear Colleagues,
\medskip
\noindent
I want to devote the next international school on nuclear
physics in Erice to the topic ``Heavy Ion Collisions from
Nuclear to Quark Matter''. It seems to me a very timely subject for the
Erice School on Nuclear Physics in 1998. I am sending you a
preliminary program of the school and the first questionaire. If
you have colleagues or collaborators who are interested to
participate in the school, please, just copy the first
questionnaire and give it to them.
\medskip
\noindent
I naturally hope that you can participate. Please, indicate on
the first questionnaire if you want to have further information,
or if you already know that you are participating or if you even
want to give a seminar.
\medskip

\centerline {\bf {The Workshop}}
\medskip \noindent
The Erice International Workshop on Nuclear Physics has
been
founded by Prof. H. Schopper in 1974. After him it was
organized by Sir Denis Wilkinson till 1983. From the beginning the
topics of the school were chosen to be young and fast expanding
fields in the area of the interphase between nuclear, particle and
sometimes also astrophysics. The idea is to bring internationally
highly recognized experts in the field together with young
scientists and even Ph. D. students. In the morning the experts
give review lectures on the newest status of a special topic,
while the afternoon is mainly devoted to seminars of the
participants leaving enough time for discussions and special topic
workshops.
\bigskip \noindent
\centerline {\bf {Motivation of the Topic}}
\medskip \noindent
High energy collisions between two heavy nuclei allow to compress and to heat
nuclear matter. Normal nuclear structure physics (spectroscopy) and light ion
reactions study essentially nuclear matter at vanishing temperature and normal
nuclear matter densities. One of the aims of heavy ion collisions
from about 100
A MeV up to several A GeV is to study the nuclear equation of state (EOS) which
connects the energy per nucleon with the density and the temperature. This EOS
is important for a brief part of the dynamics of the big bang and in supernova
explosions. But the equation of state of nuclear matter is also itself an
interesting quantity. To study the EOS, one looks to the flow of nucleons after
an heavy ion collision and one studies the production of different particles in
such reactions. It is important that these particles have a long mean free path
to bring the information about the hot and the compressed zone of the collision
to the detectors. In addition, the threshold for the production of these
particles in nucleon-nucleon collisions must be higher than the energy
available for two nucleons, so that the production depends on a large number of
particles in the hot and in the compressed zone and gives information about the
surrounding where this particle is produced. Nuclei near the ground states
behave like a Fermi liquid. If one heats up nuclear matter in an heavy ion
collision, one expects a phase transition to a nuclear gas. The ALADIN
experiment at the GSI in Darmstadt has indications that they saw such a phase
transition but the evidence is highly contested.
\medskip
\noindent
At higher energies and larger densities as could be probably reached at the AGS
in Brookhaven and at the SPS at CERN in Geneva, one expects a phase transition
from nuclear matter to quark matter (quark-gluon-plasma = QGP). Although we
have not yet a clear indication for such a phase transition to a QGP, there are
several hints which seem to support the existence of quark matter but are not
yet completely convincing. Such hints are the enlarged production of particles
with strangeness and the anomaleous J/$\psi$
suppression. In addition there is some indication for the restoration of chiral
symmetry in the CERES experiment at CERN, where the $\rho$ meson mass seems to
be substantially reduced.
\medskip
\noindent
To get a clear cut answer, one is building heavy ion colliders with higher
energies which might give a final answer about the existence of a phase
transition from nuclear to quark matter. The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider
(RHIC) at Brookhaven will start to work around the year 2000, while the Large
Hadron Collider (LHC) will be available for the collision of lead on lead in
about the year 2006. Heavy ion collisions at the LHC will be performed by the
ALICE experiment. In addition to these two main topics, the international
workshop in Erice on nuclear physics will also concentrate on the production of
radioactive beams and the physics which can be done by radioactive beams.
Further it will give also information about the physics which can be done at
heavy ion storage rings.
\medskip
\noindent
The above topics about heavy ion collisions will be the content of lectures,
seminars and workshops at the above Erice workshop on nuclear physics. The
participants have the possibility to report about their own work in seminars and
special workshops arranged in the afternoon.
