At the creation of the CARE-HHH network in the year 2003 and during the six years of its existence the situation on beam instrumentation for HHH activities was: The LHC instrumentation was fully developed and was under construction or commissioning. The FAIR beam instrumentation encloses a large number of different instruments, but apart from the very high dynamic range in beam intensities no s...

Theoretical Conference Summary

For those who have been in the field since its infancy, this Quark-Matter meeting has been one long waited for. And it will certainly remain as the one marking the beginning of a new era in the study of ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions. The first results obtained at RHIC were presented, and the variety and quality of the data confirm that the potential of the machine is truly fascinating...
