FINITE TEMPERATURE PHASE TRANSITIONS
IN PARTICLE PHYSICS

A Training, Mobility and Research (TMR) Network for Numerical and Analytical Studies of Phase Transitions in Strongly and Weakly Interacting Matter of Elementary Particles
Established by the EU in 1997

Duration: December 1, 1997 -- November 30, 2001
EU contract no.: FMRX-CT97-0122

Research Objectives:
The scientific aim of the collaboration network is the investigation of the thermodynamics and critical behaviour (phase transitions) predicted by the laws of particle physics for matter under extreme conditions. The goal is to reach a quantitative understanding of the non-perturbative physics of the electroweak and quark-hadron phase transitions, a precise determination of characteristic physical parameters of these finite-T phase transitions and a study of the interplay between topological structures and phase transitions.
