Physics with Identified Particles at STAR
Abstract
New physics results with identified particles at STAR are presented. Measurements at low address bulk properties of the collision, while those at high address jet energy loss in the bulk matter produced. Between these extremes, measurements at intermediate address the interplay between jets and the bulk. We highlight: measurements of fluctuations as a new, sensitive probe of the initial conditions and the equation of state; correlations involving multi-strange particles, along with ratios of identified particles to test coalescence as a mechanism of particle production at intermediate ; three particle azimuthal correlation to search for conical emission; and the energy and particle-type dependence of hadron production at high to study quark and gluon jet energy loss.
