Interpretation and understanding of high-energy PP data in a clear, consistent, and comprehensive manner is crucial for making valid claims to build up any successful theoretical framework for particle interactions. We have tried here to analyze the various sets of PP data available from the pre-ISR days to the latest PP collisions at the relativistic heavy ion collider (RHIC) experiment at [Formula: see text] = 200 GeV in the light of a power-law model. Both mid-rapidity and high-rapidity data sets have been dealt with by applying the same working formula. It is found that the working formula used provides a good description of these wide ranging data sets; but hardly throws any deep insights into the nature of particle interactions that force us to question the worth and rigour of phenomenological studies.PACS Nos.: 13.60.Hb, 13.60.Le, 13.85.Ni

We report the measurements of e+e- pair production at very low e+e- pair transverse momentum (pT < 0.15 GeV/c) in Au+Au collisions at [see formula in PDF] = 200 GeV and U+U collisions at [see formula in PDF] = 193 GeV using the STAR detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. In 60-80% centrality, significant excesses are observed with respect to hadronic cocktails in both Au+Au and U+U collisions. These excess yields can not be explained by a theoretical model calculation incorporating in-medium broadened ρ spectral function. Additionally, the [see formula in PDF] distribution for excess yield is shown and found to be exponential at very low pT.

Abstract The gluon polarization contribution to the proton spin is an integral part to solve the longstanding proton spin puzzle. At the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), the STAR experiment has measured jets produced in mid-pseudo-rapidity, |η| < 1.0, and full azimuth, ϕ, from longitudinally polarized pp collisions to study the gluon polarization in the proton. At center of mass energies s = 200 and 510 GeV, jet production is dominated by hard QCD scattering processes such as gluon-gluon (gg) and quark-gluon (qg), thus making the longitudinal double-spin asymmetry (ALL ) sensitive to the gluon polarization. Early STAR inclusive jet ALL results at s = 200 GeV provided the first evidence of the non-zero gluon polarization at momentum fraction x > 0.05. The higher center of mass energy s = 510 GeV allows to explore the gluon polarization as low as x ∼ 0.015. In this talk we will present the recent STAR inclusive jet and dijet ALL results at s = 510 GeV, and discuss the relevant new analysis techniques for the estimation of trigger bias and reconstruction uncertainty, the underlying event correction on the jet energy and its effect on jet ALL . Dijet results are shown for different topologies in regions of pseudo-rapidity, effectively scanning the x-dependence of the gluon polarization.

In these proceedings, we review the production of both light and heavy flavor dijets in heavy ion collisions and highlight a promising observable to expose their distinct signatures. We propose the modification of dijet invariant mass distributions in heavy ion collisions as a new observable that exhibits striking sensitivity to the heavy quark mass dependence of in-medium parton showers. This observable has the advantage of amplifying the effects of jet quenching in contrast to conventional observables, such as the dijet momentum imbalance shift, which involve cancellations of such effects and, hence, result in less pronounced signals. Predictions are presented for Au+Au collisions at √SNN = 200 GeV to guide the future sPHENIX program at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider.

Single spin asymmetry measurements ([Formula: see text]) of the azimuthal distribution of charged pions inside jets produced in transversely polarized proton collisions are sensitive to the transversity distribution and the Collins fragmentation function. The STAR Detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider is well suited for these types of measurements as it is capable of full jet reconstruction and charged pion identification in the mid-rapidity region ([Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text]). We report here the first observation of Collins [Formula: see text] asymmetries in [Formula: see text] GeV [Formula: see text] collisions.

We present the systematic analysis of transverse momentum (pT) spectra of identified hadrons in p+p collisions at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider ([Formula: see text] and 200 GeV) and at Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energies ([Formula: see text], 2.76 and 7.0 TeV) using phenomenological fit functions. We review various forms of Hagedorn and Tsallis distributions and show their equivalence. We use Tsallis distribution which successfully describes the spectra in p+p collisions using two parameters, Tsallis temperature T which governs the soft bulk spectra and power n which determines the initial production in partonic collisions. We obtain these parameters for pions, kaons and protons as a function of center-of-mass energy [Formula: see text]. It is found that the parameter T has a weak but decreasing trend with increasing [Formula: see text]. The parameter n decreases with increasing [Formula: see text] which shows that production of hadrons at higher energies are increasingly dominated by point like qq scatterings. Another important observation is with increasing [Formula: see text], the separation between the powers for protons and pions narrows down hinting that the baryons and mesons are governed by same production process as one moves to the highest LHC energy.
