Abstract
We discuss a possible percolation of hot, dense hadronic and quark matter in violent high-energy heavy ion collisions. The quark matter is treated in the bag model as an excited state of nuclear matter. Quark matter formation probabilities λ Q as high as 50% are found for laboratory bombarding energie of several GeV/n. The actual values of λ Q, however, depend strongly on the equation of state used for the dense, hot hadronic and quark matter. Rapidly pulsating blobs of quark matter are predicted to appear as a result of the expansive flow of quark matter against the contracting influence of confinement.
