چکیده
Theoretical models suggest that the Quantum Chromo-Dynamics (QCD) phase diagram has a critical point demarcating the order of transition between the two phases: the hadron gas, in which the quarks are confined and the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). The central goal of the experiments with relativistic heavy-ion collisions is to create and study such form of matter called the QGP and understand the QCD phase diagram. The STAR (Solenoidal Tracker At RHIC) detector is pertinent for the RHIC (Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider) energy scan program where we plan to explore this exciting physics possibility using heavy-ion collisions at various center of mass energies. A first test run with Au+Au collisions at √ s N N = 9.2 GeV took place in early 2008. We present the recent STAR results from this run of the identified particles (pion, kaon and proton) transverse momentum spectra and ratios. Also we shall present and discuss the results of the azimuthal anisotropy parameters (v 1 , v 2) along with the pion interferometry measurements. These recent results from Au+Au collisions at √ s N N = 9.2 GeV are compared with other SPS and RHIC measurements.

Overview of Results from the Star Experiment at Rhic
The Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) provides Au+Au collisions at energies up to √ s NN =200 GeV. STAR experiment was designed and constructed to investigate the behavior of strongly interacting matter at high energy density. An overview of some of the recent results from the STAR collaboration is given.
متن کاملJets and high pT hadrons in dense matter: recent results from STAR
We review recent measurements of high transverse momentum (high pT ) hadron production in nuclear collisions by the STAR Collaboration at RHIC. The previously observed suppression in central Au+Au collisions has been extended to much higher pT . New measurements from d+Au collisions are presented which help disentangle the mechanisms responsible for the suppression. Inclusive single hadron spec...
متن کاملDielectron Measurements in STAR
Ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions provide a unique environment to study the properties of strongly interacting matter. Dileptons, which are not affected by the strong interactions, are an ideal penetrating probe. We present the dielectron results for p+p and Au+Au collisions at √ sNN =200 GeV, as measured by the STAR experiment. We discuss the prospects of dilepton measurements with the ne...
متن کاملEnergy Dependence of Short and Long-range Multiplicity Correlations in Au+au Collisions from Star
A general overview of the measurement of long-range multiplicity correlations measured by the STAR experiment in Au+Au collisions at RHIC is presented. The presence of long-range correlations can provide insight into the early stages, and the type of matter produced in, these collisions. These measurements have been made in Au+Au collisions at √ sNN = 200 and 62.4 GeV. These results indicate a ...
متن کاملHard Probes with the STAR Experiment
Recent results on the use of hard probes in heavy ion collisions by the STAR experiment at RHIC are reviewed. The increased statistical reach from RHIC run 4 and utilization of the full capabilities of the STAR experiment have led to a qualitative improvement in these results. Light hadrons have been identified out to transverse momenta (p T) of 12 GeV/c, allowing for clear identification of th...
