Description
The aim of the NA61/SHINE ion programme is to explore the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter. The main physics goals are the study of the onset of deconfinement and the search for the critical point of strongly interacting matter. These goals are pursued by performing an beam momentum (13A - 158A GeV/c) and system size (p+p, p+Pb, Be+Be, Ar+Sc, Xe+La) scan.
This contribution reviews results and plans of the NA61/SHINE experiment. In particular, recent inclusive spectra of identified hadrons in inelastic p+p and centrality selected Be+Be interactions at the SPS energies will be shown.
The energy dependence of the signals of deconfinement, the "horn", "step" and "kink", show interesting behaviour in p+p interactions. Furthermore, the Be+Be data suggest collective flow to develop even in collisions of relatively light nuclei.
