摘要
The study of central collisions of heavy nuclei at CERN SPS energies by NA49 provided evidence for the onset of deconfinement around 30A GeV. Theoretical considerations predict a critical point of strongly interacting matter accessible in the SPS energy range. A search for the expected fluctuations has not yet found convincing signals. The strategy and plans or the continuation of this program at the SPS by NA61 with lighter nuclei is discussed.
