Descripción

The exploration of the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter particularly the search for a critical endpoint, is one of the most challenging tasks in present heavy ion physics. The existence of the critical point is expected to result in large event-by-event fluctuations of many observables of produced particles, provided the freeze-out occurs close to its location in the phase diagram. The NA49 experiment studied event-by-event fluctuations of multiplicity, transverse momentum, azimuthal angle and charge of particles in the final state as well as intermittency in low-mass dipion and in proton production. In this talk new NA61/Shine results on event-by-event fluctuations of hadron multiplicities, the average transverse momentum and chemical composition of the final state in p+p interactions at the CERN SPS will be shown. The results will be compared with the fluctuations measured in nucleus-nucleus collisions colected by NA49 and predictions from string hadronic models.In particular, the results and advantages of new strongly intensive measures of fluctuations will be discussed. Further on a first look by NA61/Shine at fluctuations in Be+Be interactions will be presented. Finally the status and plans of data taking in the NA61/Shine ion program will be summarized.
