Abstract
The NA49 experiment performed an energy scan of particle production in Pb+Pb collisions through the CERN SPS range. Observed features in the energy dependence of pion and strangeness production can so far only be described by a model assuming deconfinement to set in at the early stage of the reaction at the lower SPS energies.
