Abstract

Simulations of the ability of the STAR (Solenoidal Tracker at RHIC) detector to measure strangeness production in central Au+Au collisions at RHIC are presented. Emphasis is placed on the reconstruction of short lived particles using a high resolution inner tracker. The prospects for performing neutral kaon interferometry are discussed. Simulation results for measurements of strange and multi-strange baryons are presented.

Measurements of Strangeness Production on Au+Au collisions at 62 GeV

Journal Article Guimaraes, K; Munhoz, M; Takahashi, J; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

The STAR (Solenoidal Tracker at RHIC) experiment is a large acceptance collider detector that measures primarily hadronic observables to search for signatures of the quark-gluon plasma phase transition and study strongly interacting matter at high energy density. Operational since June 2000, the new heavy ion collider RHIC has already provided Au+Au collisions at {radical}({sigma}{sub NN}) = 62, 130 and 200 GeV as well as p+p and d+Au collisions at 200 GeV. The various collision energies and systems allow the systematic study of particle production in heavy ion collisions. In particular, the production of strange (anti-)particles is one of the majormore »« less

Beam energy dependence of net- Λ fluctuations measured by the STAR experiment at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider

Journal Article Adam, J.; Adamczyk, L.; Adams, J.; ... - Physical Review. C

The measurements of particle multiplicity distributions have generated considerable interest in understanding the fluctuations of conserved quantum numbers in the quantum chromodynamics (QCD) hadronization regime, in particular near a possible critical point and near the chemical freeze-out. Net-protons and net-kaons have been used as proxies for the net-baryon number and net-strangeness, respectively. We report the measurement of efficiency- and centrality-bin width-corrected cumulant ratios (C₂/C₁, C₃/C₂) of net- Λ distributions, in the context of both strangeness and baryon number conservation, as a function of collision energy, centrality, and rapidity. The results are for Au + Au collisions at five beam energiesmore »« less

Can doubly strange dibaryon resonances be discovered at RHIC?

Journal Article Paganis, S; Hoffmann, G; Ray, R; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

The baryon-baryon continuum invariant mass spectrum generated from relativistic nucleus + nucleus collision data may reveal the existence of doubly strange dibaryons not stable against strong decay if they lie within a few MeV of threshold. Furthermore, since the dominant component of these states is a superposition of two color-octet clusters which can be produced intermediately in a color-deconfined quark-gluon plasma (QGP), an enhanced production of dibaryon resonances could be a signal of QGP formation. A total of eight, doubly strange dibaryon states are considered for experimental search using the STAR detector (solenoidal tracker at RHIC) at the new Relativisticmore »« less

Conceptual design report for the Solenoidal Tracker at RHIC

Technical Report

The Solenoidal Tracker At RHIC (STAR) will search for signatures of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) formation and investigate the behavior of strongly interacting matter at high energy density. The emphasis win be the correlation of many observables on an event-by-event basis. In the absence of definitive signatures for the QGP, it is imperative that such correlations be used to identify special events and possible signatures. This requires a flexible detection system that can simultaneously measure many experimental observables. The physics goals dictate the design of star and it`s experiment. To meet the design criteria, tracking, momentum analysis, and particle identification ofmore »« less
