Abstract

The research programme of the NA61 collaboration covers a wide range of hadronic physics in the CERN SPS energy range, encompassesing measurements of hadron-hadron, hadron-nucleus as well as nucleus-nucleus collisions. The latter are analysed to better understand the properties of hot and dense nuclear matter. In this paper recent results of particle production properties as well event by event fluctuations in proton-proton, Be+Be and Ar+Sc interactions at beam energies of 19A/20A, 30A, 40A, 75A/80A and 158A GeV/c are presented.
