PARTICLE DISTRIBUTIONS IN HADRONIC AND NUCLEAR COLLISIONS: PROCEEDINGS OF 1998 UIC WORKSHOP

This volume contains the proceedings of the workshop entitled "Particle Distributions in Hadronic and Nuclear Collisions", held on 11–13 June 1998 at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). This was the third in a series of annual meetings — organized by the High Energy Physics Groups in the Physics Department at UIC — devoted to topics in fundamental physics. It was a forum for the discussion of topics such as multiplicity distributions, quark–gluon plasma signatures, disoriented chiral condensates and other issues on the borderline between particle and heavy-ion physics. To that end, talks were given by speakers from both the heavy-ion and particle-physics communities.
