Hadron production at SPS energies

The recent results on hadron production from the NA49 experiment are reviewed, focusing on strangeness $(K^{+})$, proton $(p)$ and deuteron $(d)$ production for central Pb+Pb collisions. The first preliminary results on $(K^{+})$ at beam energy 30A GeV are reported. The slope parameter $T$ and $K^{+}$ / $\pi^{+}$ ratio are shown and compared to those at other energies. Midrapidity transverse mass distributions of p and d are measured in central Pb+Pb collisions at 40, 80 and 158 AGeV. The final results on $p$ and $d$ production for centrality selected Pb+Pb collisions at 158A GeV are also presented.
