Zielsetzung und Themenschwerpunkte (Objectives and Key Themes)

This dissertation explores the dependence of E- and E+ production in relativistic heavy-ion collisions at the CERN SPS on energy and system size. The study aims to shed light on the properties of the strongly interacting matter created in such collisions, particularly the transition to a deconfined state known as the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP).

• The role of energy and system size in the production of E- and E+ in heavy-ion collisions.
• The properties of the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) and its formation in heavy-ion collisions.
• The application of theoretical models to interpret experimental data and understand the underlying physics.
• The comparison of experimental results with theoretical predictions to test our understanding of the strong interaction.
• The implications of the findings for our understanding of the early universe and the evolution of matter.
