arXiv:0908.1697

Abstract

Status of the new experimental program to study hadron production in hadron-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions at the CERN SPS will be presented. A physics motivation will be given for the part of the program related to the physics of strongly interacting matter. Upgrades of the NA61 experimental set-up and data taking plans will be described in detail.

Presented at 5th International Workshop on Critical Point and Onset of Deconfinement, BNL, New York, USA, 8-12 June 2009
