Role of the spectator system in electromagnetic effects

K. Mazurek, A. Rybicki, A. Szczurek +4

The electromagnetic effects on charged pion () spectra provide new, independent information on the space-time evolution of the ultrarelativistic heavy ion collision. The s…

Search for the QCD critical point at SPS energies

NA49 Collaboration, SHINE Collaboration

Lattice QCD calculations locate the QCD critical point at energies accessible at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS). We present average transverse momentum and multiplicity fl…
