STAR focus:
Twenty Years of STAR
|
 |
|
This June STAR and RHIC are celebrating 20 years of successful operations and scientific discoveries.
We are proud of the large number of students who work, and have worked, on STAR pursuing their passion for science.
Its amazing to realize that some of our excellent undergraduate scientists were born the year STAR saw first collisions!
A few of them agreed to let us share “then” and “now” photos - thank you! It's interesting to note the variety of work
they are involved in, and that many of them have already presented their work at conferences.

Apurva Narde - Rutgers University, Supervisor Sevil Salur - was 1 day old when STAR recorded first collisions.
Happy Birthday Apurva! Today he is studying Montecarlo simulations of proton-proton collisions investigating various
jet shape variables.

Qimin Jiang - USTC, Supervisor Wangmei Zha - Qimin is using phenomenological modeling to study the impact of nuclear charge
distributions on photo-production in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC with the goal of furthering our understanding our measurements
in peripheral Au+Au and U+U collisions.

Jing-Jing Qui - Fudan University, Supervisor Jinhui Chen - Jing-Jing is investigating exotic particle generation.

Tom Limoges - Lehigh University, Supervisor Rosi Reed - Tom is shown here presenting his studies at DNP on prospects for Z boson
production in proton-proton collisions. He has also worked on the recently installed Event Plane Detector.
