Jan Rak is a Senior Research Scientist in the Department of Physics at Jyväskylä University, Finland. He is also project leader of ALICE/CERN for Finland and was involved in the CERES/SPS experiment at CERN, Switzerland and the PHENIX experiment at the RHIC, USA.
One of few books to address both high-pT physics and relativistic heavy ion collisions. Essential handbook for graduates and researchers.
