The STAR experiment

Here I show the effect of reweighting the simulation so the z-vertex distribution matches that from data ...

Here, I examine the comparison of embedding tracks to data tracks for VPDMB-triggered jets. The matching is to particle-jets and the tracks are simply matched geometrically.

Since the p_T spectra for VPDMB-triggered jets in embedding and data show reasonable agreement, I thought it worthwhile to examine the p_T shifts.

In the past, studies using different jet radii have been performed on polarized proton-proton collision at a center of mass energy of 200 GeV at STAR.

Carl has proposed a new trigger definition for the 2011 analysis. The new trigger definition is as follows:

To evaluate the status of each BEMC tower, its ADC spectrum is tested for various features.  If a test fails, then a bit (or multiple bits) is flipped to indicate the nature of the problem with t
