Abstract
The formation of hot, dense quark matter in violent high energy heavy ion collisions is discussed in a relativistic hydrodynamical model. Rapidly pulsating blobs of quark matter (treated in the bag model) are predicted to appear as a result of the expansive flow of the compressed quark matter against the contracting influence of confinement. The radial oscillations may result in pulsed matter emission.
