STAR EXPERIMENT
STAR stands for "Solenoidal Tracker At RHIC". This is an experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at the Brookhaven National Laboratory. It is an international collaboration of many institutions. STAR will search for signatures of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) formation and investigate the behavior of strongly interacting matter at high energy density. The emphasis will be the correlation of many observables on an event-by-event basis. In the absence of definitive signatures for the QGP, it is imperative that such correlations be used to identify special events and possible signatures. This requires a flexible detection system that can simultaneously measure many experimental observables.

Michael Barclay is a Mathematics teacher at Detroit Frank Cody High School. Michael has been teaching mathematics for over five years. Michael earns his Masters in mathematics from the University of Detroit Mercy and a Specialist degree from Wayne State University. Michael Barclay is considered by his colleagues and students as one of the top mathematics teacher in the Detroit Public Schools and surrounding areas. The Motto: If Mr. Barclay can't teacher you mathematics...You are not capable of learning it. The key to success in mathematics is prcatice, practice, practice, repetition, repetition, and more repetition.sp>
