Star Spin Related Future Detector Upgrades
نویسنده
چکیده
The STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) has a rich spin physics program aimed at exploring the spin structure of the proton with polarized proton beams. In addition to the currently accessible channels, heavy flavor, charged vector boson production and forward mesons are integral parts of the long-term program. Such measurements require upgrades of the STAR tracking system and calorimetry. We are presenting an overview of the planned upgrades and the physics objectives driving them.

An Integrated Tracker for STAR
The STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider RHIC studies the new state of matter produced in relativistic heavy ion collisions and the spin structure of the nucleon in collisions of polarized protons. In order to improve the capabilities for heavy flavor measurements and the reconstruction of charged vector bosons an upgrade of the tracking system both in the central and the forw...
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 کاملAn Improved Event Plane Detector for the STAR Experiment
These proceedings present the design, construction and engineering run status of the Event Plane Detector (EPD) upgrade at the STAR experiment. The EPD is a key detector for the upcoming beam energy scan (BES-II) program at the STAR experiment. During the first phase of the beam energy scan (BES-I), the STAR collaboration investigated observables as a of function beam energy in order to map the...
متن کاملStudying the process of transformation of the start-up to the academic spin off
At todaychr('39')s universities, we are witnessing the emergence of startup companies by the startup teams by student and academic teams; unfortunately, most startups face barriers to success. On the one hand, one of the new topics entering the fourth-generation universities and can be a good target for the future of the startups; the existence of academic spin-offs, centered around scholars...

The STAR detector will bring unique capabilities to the study of p + p collisions up to total center of mass energies of 500 GeV at RHIC. The large acceptance of the time projection chamber and the electromagnetic calorimeter enable STAR to observe jets, and to detect photons and electrons in important regions of phase space. The premier experiments of the STAR spin program are discussed in thi...
