Description
Experiments with ultrarelativistic heavy ions started thirty years ago, first at
fixed target facilities (AGS, SPS) and then at colliders (RHIC, LHC). With the
advent of the LHC, the range of observables and the quality of the results have
significantly increased, leading to an accurate characterization of the properties
of the Quark-Gluon Plasma.
In this talk, after a general introduction I will review recent experimental
results obtained at the LHC and discuss their implications also in relation to
previous achievements at lower energy experiments.
Finally I will discuss the future prospects for experimental work at existing and
forthcoming accelerators.
