Emergent Properties of QCD Matter: Status of STAR Experiment at RHIC

An exploration of emergent properties of matter with QCD degrees of freedom using cutting-edge technology and international collaboration. The STAR Experiment at RHIC offers insights into particle physics, nuclear physics, cosmology, and astrophysics through high-tech detectors and data analysis. As one of the largest collider experiments, the STAR Collaboration involves over 550 scientists from 13 countries, leading to significant advancements in understanding particle interactions. Research focuses on heavy-ion collisions and polarized p+p collisions, expanding into high rapidity regions to study QCD phase structure. Stay updated on the latest developments and uncover the mysteries of QCD matter phase structures with the STAR Experiment at RHIC.
