Review of QCD, Quark-Gluon Plasma, Heavy Quark Hybrids, and Heavy Quark State production in p-p and A-A collisions

Abstract

This is a review of the Quantum Chromodynamics Cosmological Phase Transitions, the Quark-Gluon Plasma, the production of heavy quark states via p-p collisions and RHIC (Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions) using the mixed hybrid theory for the $\Psi (2S)$ and ${\rm Y}(3S)$ states; and the possible detection of the Quark-Gluon Plasma via heavy quark production using RHIC. Recent research on fragmentation for the production of D mesons is reviewed, as is future theoretical and experimental research on the Collins and Sivers fragmentation functions for pions produced in polarized p-p collisions.
