NA61/SHINE experiment - programme beyond 2020

Abstract

The fixed-target NA61/SHINE experiment (SPS CERN) looks for the critical point (CR) of strongly interacting matter and the properties of the onset of deconfinement. It is a scan of measurements of particle spectra and fluctuations in proton-proton, proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus interactions as a function of collision energy and system size, corresponding to a two dimensional phase diagram (T-${\mu }_B$). New measurements and their objectives, related to the third stage of the experiment after 2020 are presented and discussed here.
