The energy dependence of hadron production in central Pb-Pb collisions at SPS energies is presented and compared with data at lower and higher energies and with results from p-p interactions. It is observed that there is little change in…
We investigate dilepton production in heavy-ion, proton-proton, and proton-nucleus collisions from low energies of 1 AGeV (SIS) to ultra-relativistic energies (LHC) using the Parton-Hadron-String Dynamics (PHSD) transport approach. PHSD is…
Direct photons are a powerful probe to study the properties of the unique matter created in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. They carry information on the various stages of a heavy-ion collision. At different transverse momenta (pT),…
Direct photon production data at fixed target and collider experiments from $pp$ and $\bar{p}p$ collisions are analysed in NLO QCD. The results are grouped into three sets having $\sqrt{s}=20-30$ GeV, 630 GeV and 1.8 TeV. It is seen that at…

The CERES/NA45 experiment at the CERN SPS has previously measured $e^{+}e^{-}$ pair production in 160 AGeV Pb-Au collisions. In the mass region m>0.2 GeV/c$^{2}$, an enhancement of $2.7\pm0.4(statist.)\pm0.5(syst.)$ compared to the…
Recently, significant enhancements of $e^{+} e^{-}$ pair production at very low transverse momentum ($p_{T} < 0.15$ GeV/c) were observed by the STAR collaboration in peripheral hadronic A+A collisions. This excesses can not be described by…

An analysis of the dilepton measurements of the reactions Pb(158 A$\cdot$GeV) + Au, Pb by the CERES and NA50 collaborations points to a unique thermal source contributing to the invariant mass and transverse momentum spectra.
Clear signs of excess dileptons above the known sources were found at the SPS since long. However, a real clarification of these observations was only recently achieved by NA60, measuring dimuons with unprecedented precision in 158A GeV,…
