Abstract: The transverse mass $m_{t}$ distributions for antiprotons are measured at midrapidity for minimum bias Pb+Pb collisions at 158A GeV and for central Pb+Pb collisions at 20A, 30A, 40A, and 80A GeV beam energies in the fixed target experiment NA49 at the CERN SPS. The rapidity density $dn/dy$, inverse slope parameter $T$, and mean transverse mass left angle $\left \langle {m}_{t} \right \rangle$ derived from the $m_{t}$ distributions are studied as a function of the incident energy and the collision centrality and compared to the relevant data on proton production. The shapes of the $m_{t}$ distributions of $\bar{p}$ and $p$ are very similar. The ratios of the particle yields, $\bar{p}/p$ and $\Lambda/p\bar{p}$, are also analyzed. The $\bar{p}/p$ ratio exhibits an increase with decreasing centrality and a steep rise with increasing beam energy. The $\Lambda/\bar{p}$ ratio increases beyond unity with decreasing beam energy.

Abstract: The NA49 fixed-target experiment studied high energy-density matter produced in nucleus-nucleus reactions at the CERN SPS. In central Pb+Pb collisions at 158A GeV the energy density at the early stage substantially exceeds the threshold for quark deconfinement predicted by lattice QCD. The produced matter shows strong transverse and longitudinal flow. Ratios of yields of produced particles are approximately consistent with statistical equilibration. An energy scan through the SPS range revealed structure in the energy dependence of pion and kaon yields as well as of the inverse slopes of transverse mass distributions. These features suggest that a deconfined phase starts to be produced at around 30A GeV in central Pb+Pb collisions. The analysis of fluctuations and correlations has not yet provided evidence for the predicted critical point of QCD.

Abstract: New results on the production of charged pions in p+p interactions are presented. The data come from a sample of 4.8 million inelastic events obtained with the NA49 detector at the CERN SPS at 158 GeV/c beam momentum. Pions are identified by energy loss measurement in a large TPC tracking system which covers a major fraction of the production phase space. Inclusive invariant cross sections are given on a grid of nearly 300 bins per charge over intervals from 0 to 2 GeV/c in transverse momentum and from 0 to 0.85 in Feynman x. The results are compared to existing data in overlapping energy ranges., Comment: 54 pages, 54 figures, accepted for publication in EPJC

Abstract: An overview of results from the CERN experiment NA49 is presented with emphasis on most recent measurements. NA49 has systematically studied the dependence of hadron production on energy and system size or centrality. At top-SPS energy the detailed investigation of hadron production, now also extending to elliptic flow of Lambda-baryons and to identified particle yields at high p_t, shows that the created matter behaves in a similar manner as at RHIC energies. In the lower SPS energy range a distinct structure is observed in the energy dependence of the rate of strangeness production and in the slopes of p_t-spectra suggesting the onset of the creation of a deconfined phase of matter.

Abstract: The transverse mass m(t) distributions for antiprotons are measured at midrapidity for minimum bias Pb+Pb collisions at 158A GeV and for central Pb+Pb collisions at 20A, 30A, 40A, and 80A GeV beam energies in the fixed target experiment NA49 at the CERN SPS. The rapidity density dn/dy, inverse slope parameter T, and mean transverse mass < m(t)> derived from the m(t) distributions are studied as a function of the incident energy and the collision centrality and compared to the relevant data on proton production. The shapes of the m(t) distributions of (p) over bar and p are very similar. The ratios of the particle yields, (p) over bar /p and (p) over bar/(Lambda) over bar, are also analyzed. The (p) over bar /p ratio exhibits an increase with decreasing centrality and a steep rise with increasing beam energy. The (Lambda) over bar/(Lambda) over bar ratio increases beyond unity with decreasing beam energy.

Abstract: This article is devoted to results on pion-pion -Bose-Einstein correlations in central Pb+Pb collisions measured by the NA49 experiment at the CERN SPS. Rapidity as well as transverse momentum dependences of the correlation lengths will be shown for collisions at 20A, 30A, 40A, 80A, and 158A GeV beam energy. Only a weak energy dependence of the radii is observed at SPS energies. The kt-dependence of the correlation lengths as well as the single particle mt-spectra will be compared to model calculations. The rapidity dependence is analysed in a range of 2.5 units of rapidity starting at the center of mass rapidity at each beam energy. The correlation lengths measured in the longitudinally comoving system show only a weak dependence on rapidity., 7 pages, 4 figures, contribution to the Workshop on Particle Correlations and Femtoscopy, Kromeriz, August 15-17, 2005

The standard method of correlating particles with an event plane has been used. Measurements of $v_2$ near mid-rapidity are reported as a function of rapidity, centrality and transverse momentum. Elliptic flow of Lambda particles increases both with the impact parameter and with the transverse momentum. It is compared with $v_2$ for pions and protons as well as with models predictions.

Abstract: An overview of results from the CERN experiment NA49 is presented with emphasis on most recent measurements. NA49 has systematically studied the dependence of hadron production on energy and system size or centrality. At top-SPS energy the detailed investigation of hadron production, now also extending to elliptic flow of Lambda-baryons and to identified particle yields at high p_t, shows that the created matter behaves in a similar manner as at RHIC energies. In the lower SPS energy range a distinct structure is observed in the energy dependence of the rate of strangeness production and in the slopes of p_t-spectra suggesting the onset of the creation of a deconfined phase of matter.

Abstract: The NA49 experiment at the CERN SPS measured the energy and system size dependence of particle production in A+A collisions. A change of the energy dependence of several hadron production properties at low SPS energies is observed which suggests a scenario requiring the onset of deconfinement., Comment: XXXV International Symposium on Multiparticle Dynamics 2005

Abstract: Emission of pi(+/-), K+/-, phi, and Lambda was measured in near-central C + C and Si + Si collisions at 158 AGeV beam energy. Together with earlier data for p + p, S + S, and Pb + Pb, the system-size dependence of relative strangeness production in nucleus-nucleus collisions is obtained. Its fast rise and the saturation observed at about 60 participating nucleons can be understood as the onset of the formation of coherent systems of increasing size.

Abstract: Electric charge correlations were studied for p+p, C+C, Si+Si, and centrality selected Pb+Pb collisions at root s(NN) = 17.2 GeV with the NA49 large acceptance detector at the CERN SPS. In particular, long-range pseudorapidity correlations of oppositely charged particles were measured using the balance function method. The width of the balance function decreases with increasing system size and centrality of the reactions. This decrease could be related to an increasing delay of hadronization in central Pb+Pb collisions.

Abstract: Results are presented on Omega production in central Pb+Pb collisions at 40 and 158 AGeV beam energy. For the first time in heavy ion reactions, rapidity distributions and total yields were measured for the sum Omega- + anti-Omega+ at 40 AGeV and for Omega- and anti-Omega+ separately at 158 AGeV. The yields are strongly underpredicted by the string-hadronic URQMD model but agree better with predictions from hadron gas model.

Abstract: The system size dependence of multiplicity fluctuations of charged particles produced in nuclear collisions at 158 A GeV was studied in the NA49 CERN experiment. The results indicate a non-monotonic dependence of the scaled variance of the multiplicity distribution with a maximum for semi-peripheral Pb+Pb interactions with number of projectile participants of about 35. This effect is not observed in a string-hadronic model of nuclear collision HIJING.

Abstract: Results are presented on event-by-event electric charge fluctuations in central Pb+Pb collisions at 20A, 30A, 40A, 80A, and 158A GeV. The observed fluctuations are close to those expected for a gas of pions correlated by global charge conservation only. These fluctuations are considerably larger than those calculated for an ideal gas of deconfined quarks and gluons. The present measurements do not necessarily exclude reduced fluctuations from a quark-gluon plasma because these might be masked by contributions from resonance decays.

A change of the energy dependence is observed around 30A GeV for the yields of pions and strange particles as well as for the shapes of the transverse mass spectra. At present only a reaction scenario with onset of deconfinement is able to reproduce the measurements.

Abstract: Emission of pi, K, phi and Lambda was measured in near-central C+C and Si+Si collisions at 158 AGeV beam energy. Together with earlier data for p+p, S+S and Pb+Pb, the system-size dependence of relative strangeness production in nucleus-nucleus collisions is obtained. Its fast rise and the saturation observed at about 60 participating nucleons can be understood as onset of the formation of coherent partonic subsystems of increasing size.

Abstract: Results are presented on Omega production in central Pb+Pb collisions at 40 and 158A GeV beam energy. For the first time in heavy ion reactions, rapidity distributions and total yields were measured for the sum Omega(-)+(Omega) over bar (+) at 40A GeV and for Omega(-) and (Omega) over bar (+) separately at 158A GeV. The yields are strongly underpredicted by the string-hadronic UrQMD model but agree better with predictions from hadron gas models.

Abstract: The hadronic final state of central Pb+Pb collisions at 20, 30, 40, 80, and 158 AGeV has been measured by the CERN NA49 collaboration. The mean transverse mass of pions and kaons at midrapidity stays nearly constant in this energy range, whereas at lower energies, at the AGS, a steep increase with beam energy was measured. Compared to p+p collisions as well as to model calculations, anomalies in the energy dependence of pion and kaon production at lower SPS energies are observed. These findings can be explained, assuming that the energy density reached in central A+A collisions at lower SPS energies is sufficient to transform the hot and dense nuclear matter into a deconfined phase., 6 pages, 8 Figures, proceedings of the ICHEP2004 conference

Abstract: Preliminary results on pion-pion Bose-Einstein correlations in central Pb+Pb collisions measured by the NA49 experiment are presented. Rapidity as well as transverse momentum dependence of the HBT-radii are shown for collisions at 20, 30, 40, 80, and 158 AGeV beam energy. Including results from AGS and RHIC experiments only a weak energy dependence of the radii is observed. Based on hydrodynamical models parameters like lifetime and geometrical radius of the source are derived from the dependence of the radii on transverse momentum., 5 pages, 4 figures, contribution to the Quark Matter conference, Oakland, USA, Jan 11-17, 2004

Abstract: The most recent data of NA49 on hadron production in nuclear collisions at CERN SPS energies are presented. Anomalies in the energy dependence of pion and kaon production in central Pb+Pb collisions are observed. They suggest that the onset of deconfinement is located at about 30 AGeV. Large multiplicity and transverse momentum fluctuations are measured for collisions of intermediate mass systems at 158 AGeV. The need for a new experimental programme at the CERN SPS is underlined., Comment: invited talk presented at Quark Matter 2004, 10 pages

Abstract: Results are presented on event-by-event fluctuations in transverse momentum of charged particles, produced at forward rapidities in p+p, C+C, Si+Si, and Pb+Pb collisions at 158 AGeV. Three different characteristics are discussed: the average transverse momentum of the event, the ΦpT fluctuation measure, and two-particle transverse momentum correlations. In the kinematic region explored, the dynamical fluctuations are found to be small. However, a significant system size dependence of ΦpT is observed, with the largest value measured in peripheral Pb+Pb interactions. The data are compared with predictions of several models.

Abstract: The transverse mass [Formula Presented] distributions for deuterons and protons are measured in [Formula Presented] reactions near midrapidity and in the range [Formula Presented] for minimum bias collisions at [Formula Presented] and for central collisions at 40 and [Formula Presented] beam energies. The rapidity density [Formula Presented], inverse slope parameter [Formula Presented] and mean transverse mass [Formula Presented] derived from [Formula Presented] distributions as well as the coalescence parameter [Formula Presented] are studied as a function of the incident energy and the collision centrality. The deuteron [Formula Presented] spectra are significantly harder than those of protons, especially in central collisions. The coalescence factor [Formula Presented] shows three systematic trends. First, it decreases strongly with increasing centrality reflecting an enlargement of the deuteron coalescence volume in central [Formula Presented] collisions. Second, it increases with [Formula Presented]. Finally, [Formula Presented] shows an increase with decreasing incident beam energy even within the SPS energy range. The results are discussed and compared to the predictions of models that include the collective expansion of the source created in [Formula Presented] collisions. © 2004 The American Physical Society.

Abstract: Results are presented on event-by-event electric charge fluctuations in central Pb+Pb collisions at 20, 30, 40, 80 and 158 AGeV. The observed fluctuations are close to those expected for a gas of pions correlated by global charge conservation only. These fluctuations are considerably larger than those calculated for an ideal gas of deconfined quarks and gluons. The present measurements do not necessarily exclude reduced fluctuations from a quark-gluon plasma because these might be masked by contributions from resonance decays.

Abstract: Emission of $\pi{\pm}$, $K{\pm}$, $\phi$ and $\Lambda$ was measured in near-central C+C and Si+Si collisions at 158 AGeV beam energy. Together with earlier data for p+p, S+S and Pb+Pb, the system-size dependence of relative strangeness production in nucleus-nucleus collisions is obtained. Its fast rise and the saturation observed at about 60 participating nucleons can be understood as onset of the formation of coherent partonic subsystems of increasing size.

Abstract: New results from the energy scan programme of NA49, in particular kaon production at 30AGeV and fi production at 40 and 80AGeV are presented. The K+/pi+ ratio shows a pronounced maximum at 30AGeV ; the kaon slope parameters are constant at SPS energies. Both findings support the scenario of a phase transition at about 30AGeV beam energy. The fi/pi ratio increases smoothly with beam energy, showing an energy dependence similar toK-/pi-. The measured particle yields can be reproduced by a hadron gas model, with chemical freeze-out parameters on a smooth curve in the T– &micro ; ; ; ; _B plane. The transverse spectra can be understood as resulting from a rapidly expanding, locally equilibrated source. No evidence for an earlier kinetic decoupling of heavy hyperons is found.

Abstract: The measurement of production of Lambda and Antilambda hyperons was taken in central Pb-Pb collisions at 40, 80, and 158A GeV beam energy on a fixed target. For all the three beam energies the transverse mass spectra and rapidity distributions are studied. By integrating the rapidity spectra with extrapolations into unmeasured regions, total multiplicities were obtained. The ratio of the three energies at midrapidity and in full phase space was also studied.

Abstract: Results of resonance searches in the $\Xi^{-} \pi^{-}, \Xi^{-} \pi ^{+}, \bar{\Xi}^{+} \pi^{-}$, and $\bar{\Xi}^{+} \pi^{+}$ invariant mass spectra in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt s =17.2$ GeV are presented. Evidence is shown for the existence of a narrow $\Xi^{-} \pi^{-}$ baryon resonance with mass of 1.862$\pm$0.002 GeV/$c^{2}$ and width below the detector resolution of about 0.018 GeV/$c^{2}$. The significance is estimated to be above 4.2 $\sigma$. This state is a candidate for the hypothetical exotic $\Xi$$^{-}$$^{-}$$\_3$$\_/$$\_2$ baryon with S=-2, I=3/2, and a quark content of $(dsds\bar{u})$. At the same mass, a peak is observed in the $\Xi^{-} \pi ^{+}$ spectrum which is a candidate for the $\Xi$$^{0}$$\_3$$\_/$$\_2$ member of this isospin quartet with a quark content of $(dsus\bar{d})$. The corresponding antibaryon spectra also show enhancements at the same invariant mass. (21 refs). Results of resonance searches in the Xi- pi-, Xi- pi+, antiXi+ pi- and antiXi+ pi+ invariant mass spectra in proton-proton collisions at sqrt{s}=17.2 GeV are presented. Evidence is shown for the existence of a narrow Xi- pi- baryon resonance with mass of 1.862+/-0.002 GeV/c^2 and width below the detector resolution of about 0.018 GeV/c^2. The significance is estimated to be 4.0 sigma. This state is a candidate for the hypothetical exotic Xi_(3/2)^-- baryon with S = -2, I = 3/2 and a quark content of (d s d s ubar). At the same mass a peak is observed in the Xi- pi+ spectrum which is a candidate for the Xi_(3/2)^0 member of this isospin quartet with a quark content of (d s u s dbar). The corresponding antibaryon spectra also show enhancements at the same invariant mass.

Abstract: New results from the energy scan programme of NA49, in particular kaon production at 30 A GeV and φ production at 40 and 80 A GeV are presented. The K+/π+ ratio shows a pronounced maximum at 30 A GeV; the kaon slope parameters are constant at SPS energies. Both findings support the scenario of a phase transition at about 30 A GeV beam energy. The φ/π ratio increases smoothly with beam energy, showing an energy dependence similar to K-/π- . The measured particle yields can be reproduced by a hadron gas model, with chemical freeze-out parameters on a smooth curve in the T-μB plane. The transverse spectra can be understood as resulting from a rapidly expanding, locally equilibrated source. No evidence for an earlier kinetic decoupling of heavy hyperons is found.

Abstract: Production of $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$ hyperons was measured in central Pb-Pb collisions at 40, 80, and 158A GeV beam energy on a fixed target. Transverse mass spectra and rapidity distributions are given for all three energies. The $\Lambda / \pi$ ratio at midrapidity and in full phase space shows a pronounced maximum between the highest BNL Alternating Gradient Synchrotron and 40A GeV CERN Super Proton Synchrotron energies, whereas the $\Lambda / \pi$ ratio exhibits a monotonic increase.

Abstract: In the vicinity of the QCD phase transition, critical fluctuations have been predicted to lead to non-statistical fluctuations of particle ratios, depending on the nature of the phase transition. Recent results of the NA49 energy scan program show a sharp maximum of the ratio of K+ to Pi+ yields in central Pb+Pb collisions at beam energies of 20-30 AGeV. This observation has been interpreted as an indication of a phase transition at low SPS energies. We present first results on event-by-event fluctuations of the kaon to pion and proton to pion ratios at beam energies close to this maximum., Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, Quark Matter 2004 proceedings
