Results are presented of a two-pion interferometry (HBT) analysis in Pb+Au collisions at 40, 80, and 158 AGeV. A detailed study of the Bertsch-Pratt HBT radius parameters has been performed as function of the mean pair transverse momentum $k_t$ and in bins of the centrality of the collision. From these results we extract model dependent information about the space-time evolution of the reaction. An investigation of the effective volume of the pion emitting system provides an important tool to study the properties of thermal pion freeze-out.

Electric charge correlations are studied with the Balance Function method for central Pb + Pb collisions at the CERN - SPS. The results on centrality selected Pb + Pb interactions at 40 and 158 AGeV are presented for the first time for two different rapidity intervals. In the mid-rapidity region a decrease of the width with increasing centrality of the collision is observed whereas in the forward rapidity region this effect vanishes. This could suggest a delayed hadronization scenario. In addition, the results from a first attempt to study the energy dependence of the Balance Function throughout the whole SPS energy range, are presented. The suitably scaled decrease of the width is approximately constant for the intermediate energies (30 to 80 AGeV) and gets stronger for the highest SPS and RHIC energies. On the other hand, both URQMD and HSD simulation results show no dependence on the collision energy.
The Balance Function analysis method was developed in order to study the long range correlations in pseudo-rapidity of charged particle. The final results on p+p, C+C, Si+Si and centrality selected Pb+Pb collisions at $sqrt{s_{NN}} = 17.2$ GeV and th e preliminary data at $sqrt{s_{NN}} = 8.8$ GeV are presented. The width of the Balance Function decreases with increasing system size and centrality of the collisions. This could suggest a delayed hadronization scenario.

Results from electric charge correlations studied with the Balance Function method in A+A collisions from 20emph{A} to 158emph{A} GeV are presented in two different rapidity intervals: In the mid-rapidity region we observe a decrease of the width of the Balance Function distribution with increasing centrality of the collision, whereas this effect vanishes in the forward rapidity region. Results from the energy dependence study in central Pb+Pb collisions show that the narrowing of the Balance Function expressed by the normalised width parameter textit{W} increases with energy towards the highest SPS and RHIC energies. Finally we compare our experimental data points with predictions of several models. The hadronic string models UrQMD and HIJING do not reproduce the observed narrowing of the Balance Function. However, AMPT which contains a quark-parton transport phase before hadronization can reproduce the narrowing of the BFs width with centrality. This confirms the proposed sensitivity of the Balance Function analysis to the time of hadronization.
A wavepacket model for a system of free pions, which takes into account the full permutation symmetry of the wavefunction and which is suitable for any phase space parametrization is developed. The properties of the resulting mixed ensembles and the two-particle correlation function are discussed. A physical interpretation of the chaoticity lambda as localizat of the pions in the source is presented. Two techniques to generate test-particles, which satisfy the probability densities of the wavepacket state, are studied: 1. A Monte Carlo procedure in momentum space based on the standard Metropolis technique. 2. A molecular dynamic procedure using Bohms quantum theory of motion. In order to reduce the numerical complexity, the separation of the wavefunction into momentum space clusters is discussed. In this context th influence of an unauthorized factorization of the state, i. e. the omissio of interference terms, is investigated. It is shown that the correlation radius remains almost uneffected, but the chaoticity parameter decreases substantially. A similar effect is observed in systems with high multiplic where the omission of higher order corrections in the analysis of two-part correlations causes a reduction of the chaoticity and the radius. The approximative treatment of the Coulomb interaction between pions and source is investigated. The results suggest that Coulomb effects on the co radii are not symmetric for pion pairs of different charges. For negative the radius, integrated over the whole momentum spectrum, increases substan while for positive pions the radius remains almost unchanged.
Measurements of charged pion and kaon production are presented in centrality selected Pb+Pb collisions at 40A GeV and 158A GeV beam energy as well as in semi-central C+C and Si+Si interactions at 40A GeV. Transverse mass spectra, rapidity spectra and total yields are determined as a function of centrality. The system-size and centrality dependence of relative strangeness production in nucleus-nucleus collisions at 40A GeV and 158A GeV beam energy are derived from the data presented here and published data for C+C and Si+Si collisions at 158A GeV beam energy. At both energies a steep increase with centrality is observed for small systems followed by a weak rise or even saturation for higher centralities. This behavior is compared to calculations using transport models (UrQMD and HSD), a percolation model and the core-corona approach.
