Description
The experimental results on energy dependence of pion and strangeness production in nucleus-nucleus collisions are discussed. In particular preliminary data on central Pb+Pb collisions at 40 A GeV obtained by NA49 are shown. The results interpreted within a statistical model of the early stage indicate that the transition to deconfined phase takes place close to 40 A GeV.
