We present STAR measurements of azimuthal anisotropy by means of the two- and four-particle cumulants ν2 ν2{2} and ν2{4}) for Au + Au and Cu + Cu collisions at center-of-mass energies √ˢᴺᴺ = 62.4 and 200 GeV. The difference between ν2{2}2 and ν2{4}2 is related to ν2fluctuations (σν2) and nonflow (δ2). We present an upper limit to σν22. Following the assumption that eccentricity fluctuations σε dominate ν2 fluctuations σν22 ≈ σεwe …

We report on the mid-rapidity mass spectrum of di-electrons and cross sections of pseudoscalar and vector mesons via e+e- decays, from √s = 200 GeV p + p collisions, measured by the large-acceptance experiment STAR at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The ratio of the di-electron continuum to the combinatorial background is larger than 10% over the entire mass range. Simulations of di-electrons from light-meson decays and heavy-flavor decays (charmonium and open charm correlation) are found to describe the data. The extracted ω → e+e- invariant yields are consistent with previous measurements. The mid-rapidity …
