HIGH PT PHYSICS WITH THE STAR EXPERIMENT AT RHIC

Creators

Description

The STAR experiment at RHIC is a TPC-based, general purpose detector designed to obtain charged particle spectra, with an emphasis on hadrons over a large phase space. An electromagnetic calorimeter provides measurement of e's, γ's, π0's and jets. Data-taking with Au + Au collisions at √5 = 200 GeV/c2 begins in Fall 1999. The STAR experiment's investigation of techniques and signals using hard probes to study the high energy-density matter at RHIC and to search for quark-gluon plasma formation will be described
