In this review we are watching towards the probes of quark gluon plasma which provides the unique option to create such nuclear stuff at controlled laboratory conditions. The observables from hadronic and leptonic residues provide the required information. The other tool is the detailed rapidity and momentum spectra of hadrons. Here the information regarding the de-confined phase transition and chiral symmetry restoration is mentioned; also the perturbation and lattice gauge theory is described in short.
