Latest results from the NA61/SHINE experiment at CERN
NA61/SHINE is a multipurpose fixed-target facility at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron. The main goals of the NA61/SHINE strong interactions program are to look for the critical point of strongly interacting matter and study properties of the onset of deconfinement. To reach these goals, hadron production measurements are performed in the form of a two-dimensional scan by varying collision energy and system size. Additionally, NA61/SHINE performs reference hadron production measurements for neutrino and cosmic ray experiments.In this seminar the most recent NA61/SHINE results will be summarized. In particular, results from p+p, Be+Be, Ar+Sc and Pb+Pb reactions on hadron production spectra and fluctuations will be presented. The NA61/SHINE data will be compared with results from other experiments and predictions of various theoretical models. The talk will be concluded with plans and motivation for the NA61/SHINE operation and measurements after Long Shutdown 2 and 3 at the CERN SPS, followed by a brief summary of the ongoing hardware upgrade.
