RESUMO
We review briefly the recent progress in the search for the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) at CERN SPS and BNL RHIC. Several model analyses and observables, such as hadronic thermal equilibrium, hydrodynamical flow, HBT, jet quenching, etc. which lead to the present conception of the formation of QGP are described.
