Twenty years ago, on February 10, 2000, the CERN Director General Luciano Maiani announced: The combined data coming from the seven experiments on CERN’s Heavy Ion programme have given a clear picture of a new state of matter. This result verifies an important prediction of the present theory of fundamental forces between quarks. This report briefly reviews studies of the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter with relativistic nuclear collisions at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron which followed the CERN’s press release on the quark-gluon plasma discovery. An attempt to formulate priorities for future measurements at the CERN SPS closes the paper. The report is dedicated to David Blaschke who celebrated his 60th birthday in 2019. David’s contribution to the studies presented here was very significant.

“…In this paper methods to remove the influence of the volume fluctuations in fixed target experiments are reviewed and tested. They can be of key importance in the following ongoing fixed-target heavy-ion experiments: NA61/SHINE [4] at the CERN SPS, STAR-FT [5] at the BNL RHIC, BMN [6] at the JINR Nuclotron, HADES [7] at the GSI SIS18, and in the future experiments such as NA60+ [8] at the CERN SPS, CBM [9] at the FAIR SIS100, JHITS [10] at J-PARC-HI MR.…”

Experimental and theoretical studies of fluctuations in nucleus-nucleus interactions at high energies have started to play a major role in understanding of the concept of strong interactions. The elaborated procedures have been developed to disentangle different processes happening during nucleus-nucleus collisions. The fluctuations caused by a variation of the number of nucleons which participated in a collision are frequently considered the unwanted one. The methods to eliminate these fluctuations in fixed-target experiments are reviewed and tested. They can be of key importance in the following ongoing fixed-target heavy-ion experiments: NA61/SHINE at the CERN SPS, STAR-FT at the BNL RHIC, BMN at JINR Nuclotron, HADES at the GSI SIS18 and in future experiments such as NA60+ at the CERN SPS, CBM at the FAIR SIS100, JHITS at J-PARC-HI MR.

“…Figure 17 (right) presents a compilation of present and future facilities and their region of coverage in the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter. Charm measurements are planned by NA61/SHINE[99], NA60+[100] at the CERN SPS, they are considered by MPD[101] at NICA and J-PARC-HI[102] at J-PARC. A detailed two dimensional scan is considered by NA61/SHINE at the CERN SPS[99].…”

Brief history of the search for critical structures in heavy-ion collisions

The paper briefly presents history, status, and plans of the search for the critical structures -the onset of fireball, the onset of deconfinement, and the deconfinement critical point -in high energy nucleus-nucleus collisions. First, the basic ideas are introduced, the history of the observation of strongly interacting matter in heavy ion collisions is reviewed, and the path towards the quark-gluon plasma discovery is sketched. Then the status of the search for critical structures is discussed -the discovery of the onset of deconfinement, indications for the onset of fireball, and still inconclusive results concerning the deconfinement critical point. Finally, an attempt to formulate priorities for future measurements -charm quarks vs the onset of deconfinement and detailed study of the onset of fireball -closes the paper.
