The muon (g-2) experiment E821 at the Brookhaven National Laboratory has achieved a relative precision of $\pm 0.5$ parts per million. A new experiment, E969, with scientific approval but not yet funded, aims to improve this to $\pm 0.2$…
We present a systematic analysis of two-pion interferometry in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV using the STAR detector at RHIC. We extract the HBT radii and study their multiplicity, transverse momentum, and azimuthal angle…
Proton-proton correlations from spectator decays following Au + Au collisions at 1000 AMeV have been measured with an highly efficient detector hodoscope. The constructed correlation functions indicate a moderate expansion and low breakup…
Antinucleon production in heavy ion collisions is potentially an excellent signal for unusual phenomena in hot and dense matter. However, at the low energies available at the AGS the annihilation process must be handled with care. In this…
We present new measurements of $\Lambda-\Lambda$ correlations, which are closely related to $H$-dibaryon: a six quark state predicted by Jaffe (1977), in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV from the STAR experiment. Fits to…
The global polarization of {\Lambda} hyperons along the total orbital angular momentum of a relativistic heavy-ion collision is presented based on the high statistics data samples collected in Au+Au collisions at \sqrt{s_{NN}} = 2.4 GeV and…
Asymmetric peaks in the pion-proton correlation functions were observed. Such an asymmetry indicates a displacement between the sources of the two particle species.
We summarize the latest correlation and fluctuation measurements derived from the RHIC Beam Energy Scan-II (BES-II) data, collected by the STAR experiment. We will focus on the recent results of higher-order net-proton cumulants…
The rather complete data set of hadron yields from central Si + A collisions at the Brookhaven AGS is used to test whether the system at freeze-out is in thermal and hadro-chemical equilibrium. Rapidity and transverse momentum distributions…
Heavy quarks, produced at early stages of heavy-ion collisions, are an excellent probe of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) also created in these collisions. Electrons from open heavy-flavor hadron decays (HFE) are good proxies for heavy quarks,…

We perform a complete simulation of the process $ e^+ e^- \to \tau^+ \tau^- \nu \bar{\nu}$, where $\nu$ can be an electron, muon or tau neutrino, in the context of a general Higgs coupling to $\tau$ leptons. We analyse various kinematical…
