Description
Main physics goals of the NA61/SHINE programme on strong interactions
are the study of the properties of the onset of deconfinement and the search
for signatures of the critical point of strongly interacting matter. For these goals the scan through two dimensional phase diagram (T-$\mu_B$) is being performed
at the SPS by measurements of hadron production in nucleus-nucleus collisions
as a function of collision energy and system size.
In this contribution intriguing results on the energy dependence of hadron spectra
and yields in inelastic p+p and centrality selected Be+Be and Ar+Sc collisions will
be presented. In particular, the energy dependence of the signals of deconfinement,
the "horn", "step" and "kink", and new results on fluctuations and correlations
will be shown and compared with the corresponding data of other experiments
and model predictions.
