Abstract

We present new results on production of 3He and t obtained by the NA49 experiment in 20A, 30A, 40A and 80A GeV central Pb+Pb collisions at the CERN SPS. Transverse mass spectra and rapidity distributions for clusters measured over a large phase space domain are discussed. We observe a weak dependence of the mid-rapidity t/3He ratio on collision energy at SPS. The energy dependence of the total yield for 3He is remarkably reproduced by a statistical hadron gas model. A gradual decrease of the coalescence parameters B3 for 3He with s√SNN is observed. In addition, a measurement of the yield of antideuterons in Pb+Pb reactions at SPS's top energy of s√SNN = 17.2 GeV is presented.
