Strangeness and the Discovery of Quark Gluon Plasma

Deconfinement of quarks and gluons into a plasma (QGP) at high temperature is
a predicted paradigm shifting feature of strong interactions. The production
of strange particles in relativistic heavy ion collisions at CERN and BNL
confirms that a new phase of matter with the expected properties is being
formed. I will survey the key theoretical predictions and the related
experimental results.
