3 X. DongNov. 27th, 2012 Director’s Review STAR Detector 3 Large & uniform acceptance at mid-rapidity (exploring forward upgrades) Excellent particle identification Fast data acquisition

4 X. DongNov. 27th, 2012 Director’s Review RHIC Discoveries 4 STAR: PRL. 99 (2007) 112301 Formation of strongly-coupled Quark Gluon Plasma (sQGP)! v2v2 STAR: PRL. 91 (2003) 072304 “Jet Quenching” - Significant suppression in particle yield at high p T in central heavy ion collisions “Partonic Collectivity” - Strong collective flow, even for multi-strange hadrons ( ,  ) - Flow driven by Number-of-Constituent-Quark (NCQ) in hadrons Two most significant discoveries originated in RNC:

5 X. DongNov. 27th, 2012 Director’s Review HI Physics Focus of RNC 5 1) Study sQGP Properties Systematic investigation of partonic collectivity – Identified particle v 2 Chiral properties / thermal radiation – Dielectron production (energy dependence) Thermalization – Heavy Quark Production (D-meson, J/  ) Partonic energy loss – Jets, high p T correlations 2) Study QCD phase structure - Beam Energy Scan Turn-off of sQGP signatures – elliptic flow of identified particles – R cp of charged hadrons Search for critical point – high moments of net-proton multiplicity

6 X. DongNov. 27th, 2012 Director’s Review Partonic Collectivity 6 H. Masui, Md. Nasim (Oct. – Dec. 2011) STAR, QM 2012 Precision measurements of identified particle v 2 - push the limits of partonic collectivity - provide constraints to study the sQGP properties 0-30%: baryon-meson grouping / NCQ scaling holds. 30-80%: Multi-strange hadron v 2 deviate from NCQ scaling at m T -m 0 >1 GeV/c 2. v 2 (  )<v 2 (K s ), v 2 (  )<v 2 (  )

7 X. DongNov. 27th, 2012 Director’s Review Charm production cross section 7 X.D., Y. Zhang (now at USTC) STAR, QM 2011, QM 2012STAR, PRD 86 (2012) 072013 Heavy quarks – Sensitive to degree of thermalization of early system. consistent with the pQCD calculation in p+p. predominantly created from initial hard scatterings in HI collisions. pQCD

8 X. DongNov. 27th, 2012 Director’s Review 8 Open Charm Hadrons in Au+Au collisions Modification in low p T - indication of strong charm-medium interactions. Large suppression at high p T - indication of large energy loss in the sQGP. Future precision measurements with HFT: R AA, v 2, correlations. Model curves: He, et al. arXiv: 1204.4442 Gossiaux, et al. arXiv: 1207.5445 Y. Zhang (now at USTC) STAR, QM2012

9 X. DongNov. 27th, 2012 Director’s Review J/  Production 9 STAR, QM2012 C. Powell Quarkonium production – color screening in sQGP. consistent with a shadowing model + cold nuclear absorption in d+Au. J/  freeze-out differently compared to light hadrons - Small (or zero) radial flow - Other production mechanisms (e.g. regeneration)

DongNov. 27th, 2012 Director’s Review Dielectrons at Au+Au 200 GeV 11 Clean penetrating probe to study various stage of HI collisions Goals: o In-medium vector mesons o Thermal radiation Enhancement at 0.3-0.7 GeV/c 2 compared to the hadron cocktail. Vacuum  cannot reproduce the excess observed in data. -  in-medium modification STAR, QM2011 J. Zhao

12 X. DongNov. 27th, 2012 Director’s Review Energy Dependent Dielectron Production 12 Low mass region (LMR) enhancement persists from 19.6 – 200 GeV. In-medium  broadening reproduce LMR excesses consistently. - Suggestive of (partial) chiral symmetry restoration. Future measurements to quantify the correlated charm contribution. - QGP thermal radiation: Cross section, R AA, v 2,  (M, p T ) In-medium  broadening: R. Rapp, private communications P. Huck STAR, QM2012

13 X. DongNov. 27th, 2012 Director’s Review Beam Energy Scan 13 0) Turn-off of sQGP signatures 1)Search for the phase boundary 2) Search for the critical point BES Phase-I RNC initiated and is now leading the BES program at RHIC NSAC Long Range Plan 2007

14 X. DongNov. 27th, 2012 Director’s Review Inclusive Charged Hadron v 2 14 STAR, PRC 86 (2012) 054908 H. Masui, A. Schmah Similar v 2 behavior over a wide energy range from 7.7 GeV – 2.76 TeV. v2v2 Ratio

15 X. DongNov. 27th, 2012 Director’s Review Identified Particle v 2 15 Significant difference between baryon-antibaryon v 2 at lower energies. No clear baryon/meson grouping for anti-particles at <=11.5 GeV. NCQ scaling between particles and anti-particles is broken! Hadronic interactions play a significant role at √s NN <= 11.5 GeV. STAR Preliminary A. Schmah Papers well advanced in the collaboration, to be released soon. STAR, QM 2012

16 X. DongNov. 27th, 2012 Director’s Review R cp of Charged Hadrons 16 jet-quenching off STAR, QM 2012 E. Sangaline Significant change in the charged hadron R cp at low energies. Similar behavior in HIJING with no partonic energy loss at low energies. - suppression at 200 GeV – partonic energy loss Hadronic interactions play a significant role at √s NN <= 11.5 GeV.

17 X. DongNov. 27th, 2012 Director’s Review Higher Moments of Net-protons 17 Higher moments - more sensitive to Critical Point induced fluctuations. A non-monotonic behavior could be indicative of the QCD critical point. Deviation from Poisson expectation. - can be due to other correlation sources Current precision cannot allow a firm conclusion on the energy dependence. Future precision measurements at low energies.
