Abstract

Strongly interacting matter at very high temperature and density is expected to exist in a state called the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP), in which quark and gluon degrees of freedom are liberated, and with properties very different from the hadronic matter we ordinarily find around us. The only means to study this fundamental state of matter is via the collisions of heavy nuclei in the laboratory. In this work an overview of the most important results on heavy-ion collisions phenomenology and on the study of the QGP properties is presented. Particular emphasis is given to the most recent results obtained at the LHC at CERN at the highest collisions energy reached so far, with a look to the future scenarios.
