Measuring spin correlation between quarks during QCD confinement
The STAR Collaboration
The vacuum is now understood to possess a rich and complex structure, characterized by fluctuating energy fields and a condensate of virtual quark-antiquark pairs. The spontaneous…

Tracking the baryon number with nuclear collisions
STAR Collaboration
Baryon quantum number is believed to be conserved since baryogenesis in the early Universe. While fractionally charged valence quarks are understood conventionally to each carry a…

Temperature Measurement of Quark-Gluon Plasma at Different Stages
STAR Collaboration
In a Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP), the fundamental building blocks of matter, quarks and gluons, are under extreme conditions of temperature and density. A QGP could exist in the early…
