Abstract

This is a review of the Quantum Chromodynamics Cosmological Phase Transitions, the quark–gluon plasma, the production of heavy quark states via $p$ $p$ – $p$ $p$ collisions and Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions (RHIC) using the mixed hybrid theory for the $Ψ (2 S)$ $Ψ (2 S)$ and $Υ (3 S)$ $Υ (3 S)$ states; and the possible detection of the quark–gluon plasma via heavy quark production using RHIC. Recent research on fragmentation for the production of $D$ $D$ mesons is reviewed, as is future theoretical and experimental research on the Collins and Sivers fragmentation functions for pions produced in polarized $p$ $p$ – $p$ $p$ collisions.
