Highlights from the NA61/SHINE strong-interactions programme

preprint2021arXivOpen access

Abstract

NA61/SHINE is a multipurpose fixed-target facility at the CERN SPS. The main goals of the NA61/SHINE strong-interactions programme are to discover the critical point of strongly interacting matter as well as to study the properties of the onset of deconfinement. In order to reach these goals, a study of hadron production properties is performed in nucleus-nucleus, proton-proton and proton-nucleus interactions as a function of collision energy and size of the colliding nuclei. In this contribution, the NA61/SHINE results from a strong interaction measurement programme are presented. In particular, the latest results from different reactions p+p, Be+Be, Ar+Sc, and Pb+Pb on hadron spectra, as well as intermittency, higher-order moments of multiplicity fluctuations and spectator induced electromagnetic effects are discussed.
