Hadronic gas models in particle production and phase transitions

In this work the methods of exact quantum number conservation in statistical mechanics are discussed and applied to the field of high energy nucleus-nucleus collisions. Various types of hadronic gas models are discussed as well as their merits and restrictions. Attempts to construct a phenomenological equation of state for nuclear matter are discussed in the context of the phase transition from hadronic matter to the quark-gluon plasma (QGP).
