STATUS OF QUARK-GLUON PLASMA

I review the current status of the experimental searches for a Quark-G luon Plasma in heavy ion collisions. The brief introduction covers imp ortant results of finite temperature lattice QCD and the intuitive Bjo rken picture of Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) formation. Global features of the data, such as transverse energy distributions and the various sig natures of QGP such as J/psi-suppression, phi-enhancement as well as t hermal dileptons and photons are then discussed.
