Experimental Physics with Relativistic Heavy Ions dates from 1992 when a beamof 197Au of energy greater than 10A GeV/c first became available at theAlternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL)soon followed in 1994 by a 208Pb beam of 158A GeV/c at the Super ProtonSynchrotron (SPS) at CERN (European Center for Nuclear Research). Previouspioneering measurements at the Berkeley Bevalac in the late 1970's and early1980's were at much lower bombarding energies (~ 1 A GeV/c) where nuclearbreakup rather than particle production is the dominant inelastic process inA+A collisions. More recently, starting in 2000, the Relativistic Heavy IonCollider (RHIC) at BNL has produced head-on collisions of two 100A GeV beams offully stripped Au ions, corresponding to nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy,sqrt(sNN)=200 GeV, total c.m. energy 200A GeV. The objective of this researchprogram is to produce nuclear matter with extreme density and temperature,possibly resulting in a state of matter where the quarks and gluons normallyconfined inside individual nucleons (r < 1 fm) are free to act over distancesan order of magnitude larger. Progress from the period 1992 to the present willbe reviewed, with reference to previous results from light ion andproton-proton collisions where appropriate. Emphasis will be placed on themeasurements which formed the basis for the announcements by the two majorlaboratories: "A new state of matter", by CERN on Feb 10, 2000 and "The perfectfluid", by BNL on April 19, 2005.Comment: 62 pages, 39 figures.
