High PT Physics at RHIC Xin-Nian Wang Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

2 QCD phase transition (approx.) Chiral symmetry and its spontaneous breaking: Goldstone boson and chiral condensate SU(3) gauge symmetry: Asymptotic freedom Confinement In contrast to the simplicity of the QCD Langranigan scale anomaly (break scale invariance)
