Key Points

The SPS is crucial for ongoing research into the quark gluon plasma, a state of matter prevalent shortly after the Big Bang.
Recent results from the NA61/SHINE experiment have provided significant data on hard and electromagnetic probes in heavy-ion collisions.
Proposed advancements with the NA60+ experiment aim to further enhance our understanding of these interactions.
The SPS continues to be a central hub for future discoveries in particle physics, emphasizing its historic relevance.
