STAR results from the first RHIC year
Abstract
An overview is presented of the results of the STAR experiment from the analysis of Au+Au collisions at GeV acquired during the first year of RHIC operation. The transverse momentum distribution of negative hadrons has been studied out to 6 GeV/ in central Au+Au collisions and elliptic flow measurements out to 4.5 GeV/ in non-central collisions. This allows us to study hard processes and potentially effects of nuclear matter on parton propagation. Soft processes, which dominate particle production below around 2 GeV/, have also been studied through the identified spectra of kaons, , and strange baryons.
