Priority:

Status:

Approved for completion
in 2009

Investigation of the Properties of Nuclear Matter and Particle Structure at the Collider of Relativistic Nuclei and Polarized Protons
(Project STAR at RHIC)

Leaders:	R Lednicky Yu.A. Panebratsev
Deputy:	D.A. Arkhipkin

Scientific Programme:
Investigation of the properties of nuclear matter with extremely high density and temperature, search for the signs of the quark deconfinement and possible phase transitions at the collisions of heavy nuclei at the energies of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). Measurement of spin dependent structure functions of nucleons and nuclei using polarized RHIC beams.

Expected main results in 2009:

The data on heavy ion and polarized proton collisions taken in the STAR experiment at RHIC.
Measurement of the photon spectrum in AuAu, dAu and pp collisions at = 200 GeV in order to estimate the temperature of the produced fireball.
Measurement of the ratio of the inclusive photon spectra in AuAu and dAu in collisions.
Measurements of event structure, collective variables, correlation characteristics, femtosopic correlation functions and high P_T processes.
Measurement and simulation of spin dependent structure functions of nucleons and nuclei.
