Abstract
We discuss recent data on particle production with emphasis on the deg ree of thermal and chemical equilibration achieved. The data are inter preted in terms of a resonance gas model. The phase boundary construct ed between the resonance gas and the quark-gluon plasma is shown to be very close to the deduced parameters characterizing the hadronic fire ball at freeze-out.
