Abstract

Transition from the quark-gluon (QG) plasma to a hadronic gas is studied in the framework of the relativistic combustion theory. The calculations reveal that the QG phase must be in a strongly supercooled state. The stability of this solution with respect to minor modifications is investigated. In particular the effect of an admixture of hadronic matter in the QG phase is considered in detail.
