A Heavy-Flavor Tracker for STAR

K. Schweda

We propose to construct a heavy flavor tracker for the STAR experiment at RHIC in order to measure the elliptic flow of charmed hadrons in the low pt region and identify B-meson co…

Future of low-x forward physics at RHIC

L. C. Bland, F. Bieser, R. L. Brown +19

The rapidity dependence of inclusive and coincident particle production in d(p)+Au collisions at RHIC can be used to probe nuclear parton distribution functions down to small momen…

The STAR Time Projection Chamber: A Unique Tool for Studying High Multiplicity Events at RHIC

M. Anderson, J. Berkovitz, W. Betts +45

The STAR Time Projection Chamber (TPC) is used to record collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The TPC is the central element in a suite of detectors that surro…

Charged Particle Detection using a CMOS Active Pixel Sensor

H. S. Matis, F. Bieser, S. Kleinfelder +7

Active Pixel Sensor (APS) technology has shown promise for next-generation vertex detectors. This paper discusses the design and testing of two generations of APS chips. Both are a…

The Forward Time Projection Chamber (FTPC) in STAR

K. H. Ackermann, F. Bieser, F. P. Brady +27

Two cylindrical forward TPC detectors are described which were constructed to extend the phase space coverage of the STAR experiment to the region 2.5 < |η| < 4.0. For optimal use…

A Readout System for the STAR Time Projection Chamber

M. Anderson, R. Bossingham, F. Bieser +5

We describe the readout electronics for the STAR Time Projection Chamber. The system is made up of 136,608 channels of waveform digitizer, each sampling 512 time samples at 6-12 Me…
