Description
A possible phase transition of strongly interacting matter from hadron to
quark-gluon plasma state has received considerable interest in the past.
What conditions are necessary in the pre-equilibrium stage to achieve
deconfinement and perhaps subsequent quark-gluon plasma formation ?
In this talk the Color String Percolation Model (CSPM) has been explored to describe the initial stages in high energy A-A and pp collisions in the soft region. The thermodynamics of clustering can be addressed by extracting
the temperature from the transverse momentum spectra of charged hadrons.
The clustering of color sources has a clear physical basis.
and belongs to the non-perturbative domain of the QCD and manifests
its most fundamental features.
