Study of hard and electromagnetic processes at CERN-SPS energies: an investigation of the high- region of the QCD phase diagram with NA60+
M. Agnello, F. Antinori, H. Appelshäuser +68
The exploration of the phase diagram of Quantum ChromoDynamics (QCD) is carried out by studying ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. The energy range covered by the CERN SPS ($\…
INFN What Next: Ultra-relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions

This document was prepared by the community that is active in Italy, within INFN (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare), in the field of ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. T…
Strangeness enhancements at central rapidity in 40 A GeV/c Pb-Pb collisions
The NA57 Collaboration, F. Antinori
Results are presented on neutral kaon, hyperon and antihyperon production in Pb-Pb and p-Be interactions at 40 GeV/c per nucleon. The enhancement pattern follows the same hierarchy…
