Future facilities: The CERN SPS

The Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) at CERN has played a pioneering role in the study of heavy-ion collisions since 1986 and nowadays remains central to the exploration of the Quark Gluon Plasma. This document summarizes the present status and future prospects of the SPS physics program with particular focus on hard and electromagnetic probes, highlighting the results and goals of NA61/SHINE and the proposed NA60+ experiment.

Abstract

The Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) at CERN has played a pioneering role in the study of heavy-ion collisions since 1986 and nowadays remains central to the exploration of the Quark Gluon Plasma. This document summarizes the present status and future prospects of the SPS physics program with particular focus on hard and electromagnetic probes, highlighting the results and goals of NA61/SHINE and the proposed NA60+ experiment.
