CERN Summer Student 2016 report - Haakon Midthun Kolstoe.

This report gives a description of the work done during my stay at CERN as a part of the Summer Student Program 2016. I was assigned to work at the NA61/SHINE collaboration which covers the search for the critical point of strongly interacting matter, study the onset of deconfinement and precise hadron production measurements in hadron–nucleus collisions for cosmic ray and neutrino physics applications.
