In relativistic heavy-ion collisions, the formation of a deconfined and thermalized state of partons, known as quark-gluon plasma (QGP), leads to enhanced production of strange hadrons in contrast to proton-proton (pp) collisions, which are…
In p+p, d+Au, and Au+Au collisions at \sqrt{s_{NN}}=200 GeV with the STAR detector at RHIC, \Sigma(1385)\to\Lambda+\pi were measured using two techniques; three-particle mixing and a hybrid mixing technique. We present results from both of…

In 2009, the RHIC spin physics program completed the first data taking period of polarized $\vec{p}+\vec{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 500$ GeV, accumulating ~12 pb$^{-1}$ with ~39% beam polarization. This opens a new era in the study of…

Strange hadrons have been suggested as sensitive probes of the properties of the nuclear matter created in heavy-ion collisions. At few-GeV collision energies, the formed medium is baryon-rich due to baryon stopping effect. In these…
