Correcting for Distortions due to Ionization in the STAR TPC
G. Van Buren, L. Didenko, J. Dunlop +6
Physics goals of the STAR Experiment at RHIC in recent (and future) years drive the need to operate the STAR TPC at ever higher luminosities, leading to increased ionization levels…
A Study of Cosmic Ray Secondaries Induced by the Mir Space Station Using AMS-01
01 Collaboration
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) is a high energy particle physics experiment that will study cosmic rays in the to range and will…
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…
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…
