The aims of the NA61 experiment at the CERN SPS are comprehensive and consistent measurements and study of hadron production in hadron-nucleus interactions needed for neutrino and astroparticle physics, hadron production in proton-proton and proton-nucleus interactions needed as reference data for better undestanding of nucleus-nucleus reactions and hadron production in nucleus-nucleus collisions, in particular fluctuations and long range correlations with aim to identify properties of the onset of deconfinement and search for critical point of strongly interacting matter.

The High Energy Group participate in the preparation of NA61 experiment and in data taking in 2007, 2008 and 2009. Till now we have collected more than 40 mln events. We took part in preparation of software tools for reconstruction and calibration of NA61 data.
