1. Talk: Strangeness production in the NA61/SHINE experiment at the CERN SPS energy range - Yuliia Balkova
Abstract:
NA61/SHINE is a multi-purpose fixed-target experiment located at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron. One of the main goals of the experiment is to study the phase transition between the hadronic gas and quark-gluon plasma and search for the critical point of the strongly interacting matter. To perform the study of the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter, the NA61/SHINE experiment performed the two-dimensional scan in collision energy and system size.
In turn, strangeness production is a well-known valuable probe for understanding particle production in high energy physics because of the absence of the strange valence quarks in the initial state of the collision. The talk will emphasize the importance of measuring the strangeness production for the discussion concerning the onset of deconfinement and present the general strategy of the analysis.
