Overview of Results from NA61/SHINE: Uncovering Critical Structures

Abstract: NA61/SHINE is a multipurpose experiment to study hadron-proton, hadron-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron. The experiment performs unique measurements for physics of strong interactions as well as important reference measurements for neutrino and cosmic-ray physics. The results from the strong interaction programme uncover rapid changes in collision-energy and system-size dependence of basic hadron production properties-the critical structures. They are attributed to th… Show more

“…Nuclear collisions are usually described by increasingly complex statistical models that try to account for all possible collective effects [ 32 , 33 , 34 ]. Because, however, for our purposes, the mutual relation between the entropies of and collisions will be important, to estimate the entropy in the nuclear collision, it will therefore be more convenient to use the phenomenological description based on the assumption that it can be described by a certain superposition of collisions of single nucleons (taking into account only nucleons that collided at least once and assuming that their collisions are independent—these are the so-called “wounded nucleons”) [ 35 ].…”

“…Effective theories take this prediction as a starting point, but they are not forced to agree with each other with the qualitative aspects of the QCD phase diagram at finite chemical potential [24,33]. Experimentally, many ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions performed at the LHC [34,35], RHIC [36], NICA [37], SPS [38], NA61/SHINE [39] and many other research centers can give insight about the QCD phase diagram itself.…”

“…The main focus of the NA61/SHINE programme of studies of strongly interacting matter via a two-dimensional beam momentum and system size scan are central collisions [1,2]. In recent years, however, new additions to the programme emerged which concentrate on non-central collisions, where specific collective effects appear.…”
