Nuclear Phase Transitions in Transport Theory

Abstract

Questions concerning nuclear phase transitions are addressed within the transport theory. The issue of thermal equilibrium in the region of the liquid-gas phase transition is investigated. Signatures of the transition to the quark-gluon plasma are looked for.
