NA61/SHINE investigates deconfinement and open charm dynamics in heavy-ion collisions, highlighting future plans.
The main goal of the NA61/SHINE strong interaction program is to search for the critical point in the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter and to investigate phenomena related to the onset of deconfinement. In recent years, the program has expanded to include the study of open charm, aiming to understand the mechanisms of its production in heavy-ion collisions. This article presents a selection of recent results from the NA61 /SHINE strong interaction program, including findings on particle spectra and yields, as well as fluctuations and correlations. Plans for the near future are also discussed.
