Description
The STAR experiment has produced convincing evidence that strongly
interacting partonic matter, Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP), is created in the
central collisions of heavy ions. Among the probes used experimentally
to study the QGP properties, the hard probes: jets and heavy flavor
quarks are unique since they are dominantly produced at the early stages
of the collision and subsequently experience the entire evolution of the
system. With its large and uniform acceptance STAR is well-equipped to
study jets in the QGP matter. Moreover during recent years including
the Heavy Flavor Tracker and the Muon Telescope Detector, STAR has
launched a comprehensive heavy-flavor program which enables unique high
precision measurements of charm and bottom quark and quarkonia
properties. In this talk, recent STAR results on jets, open heavy
flavor and quarkonia measurements will be discussed.
