NA61/SHINE at the CERN SPS is a fixed-target experiment pursuing a rich physics program including measurements for heavy ion, neutrino and cosmic ray physics. The main goal of the ion program is to study the properties of the onset of deconfinement and to search for the signatures of the critical point.
In this contribution a brief summary of recent results of the NA61/SHINE experiment on...
Femtoscopy is a technique allowing measurements of the space-time characteristics of particle production using correlations arising from the effects of quantum statistics and final state interactions. Typically, it is used for measurements of source sizes for pions, kaons, and protons in order to test the hydrodynamic evolution of the system by looking at the dependence of the HBT radii on...
The aim of the NA61/SHINE ion programme is to explore the QCD phase diagram within the range of thermodynamical variables accessible by the SPS. In addition the experiment provides precision hadron production measurements for description of the neutrino beam of the T2K experiment at J-PARC and for simulation of cosmic-ray showers for the Pierre Auger Observatory and KASCADE experiments. The...
Modifications of basic properties of kaons, like mass and decay constants, in hot and dense nuclear medium, often parameterized by the in-medium potentials,
are an intensely studied topic in the last two decades. However, until recently the experimental samples obtained from the heavy-ion collisions at 1-2A GeV, and used to draw conclusions on the scale of these potentials were limited to...
Angular particle correlations are a powerful tool to study numerous properties of the medium (e.g. collective behaviour, jets, quantum statistics or Coulomb effects, conservation laws, decays of resonances). In this talk, we report measurements of di-hadron correlations with respect to the differences in the azimuth ($\Delta\varphi$) and pseudorapidity ($\Delta\eta$) in pp collisions recorded...
