Abstract:The $\gamma$/$\pi^osseparation has been studied using a gaseous Shower Maximum Detector (SMD) positioned at four different locations inside the STAR Electromagnetic Calorimeter (EMC), X_o$, X_o$, X_o$, and X_o$, for various energies of the incident particles in the range from 3 to 25 GeV.
Also an electron--hadron separation power of the STAR EMC with the gaseous SMD has been evaluated for two SMD positions within the EMC stack at the energies from 2 to 30 GeV.
