Search for new states of matter with the STAR experiment at RHIC

Description

High energy nucleus-nucleus collisions are used for the search for the Quark-Gluon Plasma, a state of matter predicted by lattice QCD. Since 1999, the STAR experiment recorded in total approx. = 10 x 106Au + Au events at √s=130 GeV and 200 GeV which were analyzed to determine the temperature, size and density of the collision system
