9 P.Seyboth: Indications for the onset of deconfinement in Pb+Pb collisions at the CERN SPS from NA49 (ISMD2004) 9 Particle yields – statistical model hadron species populated according to phase space probabilities (max.entropy) (Fermi,Hagedorn) strangeness sector not fully saturated (Rafelski) statistical model successful, T, μ B, γ S, V larger value of γ S in A+A due to relaxation of local strangeness conservation (fits by F.Becattini et al, PRC69(2004)024905)

10 P.Seyboth: Indications for the onset of deconfinement in Pb+Pb collisions at the CERN SPS from NA49 (ISMD2004) 10 Particle yields at 40A, 80A GeV – statistical model at lower energies μ B increases, while T decreases slightly

11 P.Seyboth: Indications for the onset of deconfinement in Pb+Pb collisions at the CERN SPS from NA49 (ISMD2004) 11 Global view - Phase diagram statistical model describes yields from SIS to RHIC energy T of “hadrochemical” freeze out increases SIS  RHIC μ B decreases (increase of pion production) freeze out at E  1 GeV per particle  dashed line (Lattice-QCD phase boundary: Fodor,Katz JHEP04(2004)050) hadrochemical freeze out parameters approach the phase boundary at SPS (Cleymans and Redlich, PRL 81(1998) 5284 ) QGP Hadrons 1st order

12 P.Seyboth: Indications for the onset of deconfinement in Pb+Pb collisions at the CERN SPS from NA49 (ISMD2004) 12 Energy dependence - π yields increase of / with energy gets steeper in SPS range π deficit changes to enhancement compared to p+p pions are most abundant particle species  measure of entropy in statistical models SMES: statistical model of the early stage Increase of initial d.o.f. g between AGS and SPS ? (Gazdzicki,Gorenstein : Acta Phys.Pol. B30(1999)2705)

13 P.Seyboth: Indications for the onset of deconfinement in Pb+Pb collisions at the CERN SPS from NA49 (ISMD2004) 13 Energy dependence - ratio of K,Λ yields to pions sharp peak of K + /π + ratio smooth rise of anti-Λ/π ( s quarks) similar peak in Λ/π ratio structure in K – /π – ( s quarks) hadronic models do not (yet ?) reproduce the sharp peak

14 P.Seyboth: Indications for the onset of deconfinement in Pb+Pb collisions at the CERN SPS from NA49 (ISMD2004) 14 Energy dependence – ratio of strange hadrons to pions hadronic mixed partonic strangeness to pion ratio peaks sharply at the SPS SMES explanation: - entropy, number of s,sbar quarks conserved from QGP to freezeout - ratio of strange/nonstrange d.o.f. rises rapidly with T in hadron gas - E s drops to predicted constant level above the deconfinement threshold onset of deconfinement at SPS ? hadronic mixed partonic

15 P.Seyboth: Indications for the onset of deconfinement in Pb+Pb collisions at the CERN SPS from NA49 (ISMD2004) 15 Energy dependence – inverse slope parameters inverse slope parameter T of K + and K - constant at SPS approximately constant pressure and temperature in mixed phase ? (L.van Hove, PLB89(1982)253 M.Gorenstein et al.,PLB567(2003)175)

16 P.Seyboth: Indications for the onset of deconfinement in Pb+Pb collisions at the CERN SPS from NA49 (ISMD2004) 16 Energy dependence - average transverse mass Increase of for abundantly produced particles ( π, K, p) slows sharply at the lowest SPS energy

18 P.Seyboth: Indications for the onset of deconfinement in Pb+Pb collisions at the CERN SPS from NA49 (ISMD2004) 18 The Event-by-Event p/π ratio Beam Energy NA49 preliminary The distribution of the E-by-E p/π ratio is narrower for data than mixed events. Effect of baryon resonance decay ?

20 P.Seyboth: Indications for the onset of deconfinement in Pb+Pb collisions at the CERN SPS from NA49 (ISMD2004) 20 QGP signature possibly masked by effect of resonance decays No clear energy dependence of charge fluctuations at SPS Remove effect of global charge conservation :

23 P.Seyboth: Indications for the onset of deconfinement in Pb+Pb collisions at the CERN SPS from NA49 (ISMD2004) 23 Conclusion from the energy scan at the SPS structure observed at low SPS energy in central Pb+Pb collisions – the rate of increase of pion production steepens – the strange particle to pion ratio peaks sharply – constancy of the slope of π and K m T - spectra no evident anomalies in e-by-e fluctuations (K/π, charge), BE correlations and flow present models without deconfinement in the early phase do not reproduce details of energy dependence reaction scenario with onset of deconfinement at the SPS can explain the observed structure  plan to continue SPS program with lighter nuclei: role of the initial volume in the onset of deconfinement search for the predicted critical point
