New results from CERES

Abstract

During the year 2000 the CERES experiment, upgraded with a radial drift TPC, took a large data sample of Pb on Au collisions at 158 AGeV triggered on the 8% most central collisions. A very detailed calibration of the radial drift TPC was since completed. Preliminary results on $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ pairs and $\varphi$ mesons reconstructed in the $K^{+}{K}^{-}$ channel are presented.
