99. Measurement of azimuthal anisotropy of hadrons in Au+Au collisions from the beam energy scan program by the PHENIX experiment at RHIC

Large azimuthal anisotropy of particle emission in non-central heavy ion collisions has been has been clearly observed in heavy ion collision at RHIC since 2001. The elliptic flow as given by the second term of the Fourier series for the azimuthal distribution of particles with respect to the event plane is believed to carry information on the initial geometrical anisotropy. One of the early...

132. Status and Physics Opportunities of STAR Heavy Flavor Tracker and Muon Telescope Detector Upgrades

Talk

The STAR Collaboration will complete the Heavy Flavor Tracker (HFT) and the Muon Telescope Detector (MTD) upgrades by 2014. HFT utilizes the state-of-art active thin pixel detector technology, which will greatly enhance STAR physics capability by measuring heavy quark collectivity and correlations via the topological reconstruction of charmed hadrons over a wide momentum range. MTD is based on...

40. Strangeness balance in HIC

Evgeni Kolomeitsev (Matej Bel University)

Talk

We discuss the strangeness production in heavy-ion collisions at SIS-FAIR-NICA energies and the role of doubly and triply strange baryons for testing the strangeness balance in a collision event. The minimal statistical model is applied, in which the total strangeness yield is fixed by the observed K+ multiplicity. Exact strangeness conservation in each collision event is explicitly...
