Description
The NA61/SHINE experiment at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron is pursuing a rich
programme on strong interactions, which covers the study of the onset of deconfinement
and aims to discover the critical point of strongly interacting matter by performing
an energy and system-size scan at the full CERN SPS beam momentum range. So far the
scans of p+p, p+Pb, Be+Be, and Ar+Sc have been completed, Xe+La collisions will be
registered this year, and samples of Pb+Pb data at three energies have been already taken.
Results from the different reactions are now emerging, in particular the energy
dependencies of hadron spectra and yields as well as fluctuations. Status and
preliminary results from this effort will be presented, as well as an outlook for
future extensions of the strong interaction programme.
