Four Heavy-ion Experiments at the CERN-SPS: A Trip Down Memory Lane

After a brief review of the first steps towards high-energy nuclear beams at CERN, the heavy-ion experiments at the OMEGA Spectrometer, WA85, WA94, WA97, are introduced together with their North-Area successor, NA57. In particular, the experimental solutions adopted to cope with very high-multiplici...

description After a brief review of the first steps towards high-energy nuclear beams at CERN, the heavy-ion experiments at the OMEGA Spectrometer, WA85, WA94, WA97, are introduced together with their North-Area successor, NA57. In particular, the experimental solutions adopted to cope with very high-multiplicity events are described, as well as the main results obtained in the pursuit of the Quark-Gluon Plasma. The inspiring role played by Johann Rafelski is underlined.
