    NA61/SHINE sheds light on strong Interactions

    NA61/SHINE sheds light on strong Interactions The past several months were particularly important for the NA61/SHINE programme on strong interactions. This period was crowned by the ongoing beam energy scan with argon-scandium collisions. Here the key events are summarized, but first NA61/SHINE is briefly introduced. The NA61/SHINE experiment at CERN NA61/SHINE (SPS Heavy Ion and

    Accelerating Argon Ions at the SPS

    Accelerating Argon Ions at the SPS This year, the SPS accelerated argon ions for the first time, delivering beam to the NA61/SHINE experiment in the North Area. NA61/SHINE explores the phenomenon of deconfinement by studying the collisions of ions of different masses, at different energies. As argon ions are much lighter than lead ions that
