  3. With the establishment of the hydrogen bubble-chamber, entirely new possibilities for research into high-energy physics present themselves. Results have already been apparent in the form of newly-discovered elementary particles. The first, very short-lived, so called, "resonance particle" was found in 1960. The Nobel Prize in Physics 1968 First time Invariant Mass was used (bump hunting) A little bit of history  (1952?) (1385) (1960) (892) (1961) (1405)   1411 (1967)

  28. STAR的目标 Measuring the dilepton → To study: 1. vector meson production and in-medium effect 2. heavy Quarkonian production (suppression) Focus on the dilepton spectra at low mass region Electrons may come from the following sources at low mass region: γ conversion π0, η Dalitz decays ρωΦ vector meson decays

  29. What STAR Can Do? Future upgraded detectors: μVertex detector Full TOF Electrons PID Reject electrons not from primary vertex (gamma conversion) Simulation: γconversion and π0, η Dalitz decay background How can μVertex detector deal with γconversion subtraction?

  30. Electron Identification Before, using TPC dE/dx only to separate electrons from hadrons is complicated TOF detector lights up this study A prototype TOF tray (TOFr) installed this year |1/β-1|<0.03 With TOF PID cut, electron band can be separated from others readily!

  31. Dilepton Assume electrons can be identified with full TOF Total bkgd: ~10-4/25MeV (ω) ~2∙10-5/25MeV (Φ) Dalitz decay bkgd: ~5∙10-6/25MeV (ω) ~5∙10-7/25MeV (Φ)

  32. Background Rejection Electrons from gamma conversion L.J.Ruan Require TPC+SVT+μVertex ~98% electrons from gamma conversion rejected Dalitz decays become dominant sources!!! Great thanks to Kai!

  33. Upgraded TOF for dileptons • Background: g  e+e- • HFT discriminates background • Need low mass detector • Statistics comparable to NA60 • Charm background

  34. Vacuum Engineering Big Bang 强作用下的宇称破缺

  35. D. Kharzeev, QM08

  36. Conclusions • Vector Meson Resonances are sensitive tools to study new state of matter • An important physics program STAR will pursue • TOF+TPC+SVT+ μVertexSTAR RHIC II Upgrade
