Abstract

Recent experimental results on the possible formation of the quark-gluon plasma in Au-Au collisions at the maximum energy of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) from the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), USA, opened the discussions on the possibility to use notions, phenomena and specific parameters from the Plasma Physics in the description of the quark-gluon plasma, trying to exceed the differences between the different nature of the basic interactions in the two types of states of the matter. The present work is such attempt. We discuss the possibility to describe the observed quark-gluon plasma at the RHIC maximum energy, supposed in liquid phase, using the parameters for dusty plasmas, strongly coupled plasmas, mainly Coulomb parameter and different wave lengths. The analogies lead at the idea that there are the common behaviours of the parameters sustaining the formation of the quark-gluon plasma in liquid state..
