We report the first measurement of charmed-hadron (D⁰) production via the hadronic decay channel (D⁰→K⁻+π⁺) in Au+Au collisions at √^S_NN=200  GeV with the STAR experiment. The charm production cross section per nucleon-nucleon collision at midrapidity scales with the number of binary collisions, N_bin, from p+p to central Au+Au collisions. The D⁰ meson yields in central Au+Au collisions are strongly suppressed compared to those in p+p scaled by N_bin, for transverse momenta p_T>3  GeV/c …

We report the first measurements of the moments—mean (M), variance (σ²), skewness (S), and kurtosis (κ)—of the net-charge multiplicity distributions at midrapidity in Au+Au collisions at seven energies, ranging from √^S_NN=7.7 to 200 GeV, as a part of the Beam Energy Scan program at RHIC. The moments are related to the thermodynamic susceptibilities of net charge, and are sensitive to the location of the QCD critical point. We compare the products of the moments, σ²/M, Sσ, and κσ², with the expectations …

The J/ψ p_T spectrum and nuclear modification factor (R_AA) are reported for p_T < 5 GeV/c and |y| < 1 from 0% to 60% central Au + Au and Cu + Cu collisions at √^SNN = 200 GeV at STAR. A significant suppression of p_T-integrated J/ψ production is observed in central Au + Au events. The Cu + Cu data are consistent with no suppression, although the precision is limited by the available statistics. R_AA in Au + Au collisions exhibits a strong suppression at low transverse momentum and gradually increases with p_T. The data are compared to high-p_{T …}

Local parity-odd domains are theorized to form inside a quark-gluon plasma which has been produced in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. The local parity-odd domains manifest themselves as charge separation along the magnetic field axis via the chiral magnetic effect. The experimental observation of charge separation has previously been reported for heavy-ion collisions at the top RHIC energies. In this Letter, we present the results of the beam-energy dependence of the charge correlations in Au+Au collisions at midrapidity for center-of-mass energies of 7.7, 11.5, 19.6, 27, 39, and 62.4 GeV from the STAR experiment. After background subtraction, the signal gradually reduces with …

We report the STAR measurements of dielectron (e⁺e⁻) production at midrapidity (|y_ee|^S_NN=200  GeV. The measurements are evaluated in different invariant mass regions with a focus on 0.30–0.76 (ρ-like), 0.76–0.80 (ω-like), and 0.98–1.05 (ϕ-like)   GeV/c². The spectrum in the ω-like and ϕ-like regions can be well described by the hadronic cocktail simulation. In the ρ-like region, however, the vacuum ρ spectral function cannot describe the shape of the dielectron excess. In this range, an enhancement of 1.77±0.11(stat)±0.24(syst)±0.33(cocktail) is determined …
