We report high statistics measurements of inclusive charged hadron production in Au+Au and p+p collisions at sqrt[s(NN)]=200 GeV. A large, approximately constant suppression is observed central for 5<p(T)<12 GeV/c. The collision energy dependence the yields centrality p(T) provide stringent constraints on theoretical models suppression. Models incorporating initial-state gluon saturation or partonic loss dense matter are largely consistent with observations. observe no evidence...

Azimuthal correlations for large transverse momentum charged hadrons have been measured over a wide pseudorapidity range and full azimuth in Au+Au p+p collisions at sqrt[s(NN)]=200 GeV. The small-angle observed all centralities of are characteristic hard-scattering processes previously high-energy collisions. A strong back-to-back correlation exists peripheral Au+Au.

Elliptic flow from nuclear collisions is a hadronic observable sensitive to the early stages of system evolution. We report first results on elliptic charged particles at midrapidity in Au+Au square root(S)NN = 130 GeV using STAR Time Projection Chamber Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The signal, v2, averaged over transverse momentum, reaches values about 6% for relatively peripheral and decreases more central collisions. This can be interpreted as observation higher degree thermalization...

We report measurements of single-particle inclusive spectra and two-particle azimuthal distributions charged hadrons at high transverse momentum (high p(T)) in minimum bias central d+Au collisions sqrt[s(NN)]=200 GeV. The yield is enhanced relative to binary-scaled p+p collisions, while the are very similar those observed collisions.

Inclusive transverse momentum distributions of charged hadrons within 0.2<p(T)<6.0 GeV/c have been measured over a broad range centrality for Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s(NN)]=130 GeV. Hadron yields are suppressed high p(T) in central relative to peripheral and nucleon-nucleon reference scaled collision geometry. Peripheral not the reference. The suppression varies continuously intermediate centralities. results indicate significant nuclear medium effects on high-p(T) hadron production...

We present STAR measurements of the azimuthal anisotropy parameter v(2) and binary-collision scaled centrality ratio R(CP) for kaons lambdas (Lambda+Lambda) at midrapidity in Au+Au collisions square root s(NN)=200 GeV. In combination, particle-type dependencies contradict expectations from partonic energy loss followed by standard fragmentation vacuum. establish p(T) approximately 5 GeV/c as value where dependent baryon enhancement ends. The K(0)(S) Lambda+Lambda values are consistent with...
