The STAR Time Projection Chamber (TPC) is used to record collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The TPC is the central element in a suite of detectors that surrounds the interaction vertex. The TPC provides complete coverage around the beam-line, and provides complete tracking for charged particles within +- 1.8 units of pseudo-rapidity of the center-of-mass frame. Charged particles with momenta greater than 100 MeV/c are recorded. Multiplicities in excess of 3,000 tracks per event are routinely reconstructed in the software. The TPC measures 4 m in diameter by 4.2 m long, making it the largest TPC in the world.

    nucl-ex 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 8.0 of 10

    First observation of phi-meson directed flow v1 comparable in magnitude to protons and Lambdas but much larger than K0S, with baryon-like energy dependence at high baryon density.

  2. Hyper-Nuclei $^4_{\Lambda}\hbox{He}$ Production in $\sqrt{s_{\rm{NN}}}$ = 3 GeV Au+Au collisions at RHIC

    nucl-ex 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    First measurement of ^4_ΛHe yields in 3 GeV Au+Au collisions shows consistency with ^4_ΛH yields and JAM coalescence model while thermal model overpredicts absolute yields.

  3. Tilted geometry of the pion emission source in Au+Au collisions in the RHIC Beam Energy Scan

    nucl-ex 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    The pion emission source in Au+Au collisions is tilted with magnitude decreasing rapidly as collision energy rises from 7.7 to 27 GeV, indicating departure from longitudinal boost invariance.

  4. Probing Late-Stage Hadronic Interactions at High Baryon Density via $K^{*0}$ Production in the RHIC Beam Energy Scan Program

    nucl-ex 2026-01 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    K*0/K yield ratios in central Au+Au collisions at BES energies are suppressed relative to peripheral collisions and thermal predictions, indicating hadronic rescattering that strengthens at lower energies.

  5. Probing (Hyper)Nuclei Wave Functions and Production Mechanisms in $\sqrt{s_{\rm{NN}}}=200$ GeV Isobar Collisions at RHIC

    nucl-ex 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Isobar collision yields of ³_ΛH and light nuclei favor coalescence with non-Gaussian hypertriton wave functions that carry enhanced short-distance d–Λ probability, inconsistent with a Gaussian ansatz tied to the measu...

  6. Measurements of jet quenching with semi-inclusive hadron-jet correlations in Ru+Ru and Zr+Zr collisions at $\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}}=200$ GeV

    nucl-ex 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Suppression of recoil jet yields and intra-jet broadening is observed in central Ru+Ru and Zr+Zr collisions, indicating medium-induced partonic energy loss.

  7. Production of muonic kaon atoms at high-energy colliders

    hep-ph 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Muonic kaon atoms form in D0 decays with branching ratio 2.29×10^{-10} and via QGP coalescence, with projected yields at LHC and RHIC sufficient for first observation and secondary-vertex reconstruction.

  8. Measurement of inclusive $J/\psi$ production in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}} = 54.4$ GeV at STAR

    nucl-ex 2025-06 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    A new 54.4 GeV Au+Au measurement finds significant J/psi suppression with no energy dependence of R_AA from 17.3 to 200 GeV within uncertainties.

  9. Impact of Tracking Resolutions on $\phi$-Meson Spin Alignment Measurement

    physics.data-an 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Track angular and momentum resolutions shift the extracted phi-meson spin alignment parameter rho_00 by less than 0.0005 in STAR-like toy-model simulations, though the invariant-mass method's conversion formula is wrong.

    hep-ex 2024-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    New STAR double-spin asymmetry data for dijets at intermediate pseudorapidity favor positive gluon polarization and disfavor the JAM22 negative solution by 3.5 sigma.

    Recent net-proton cumulant ratios from RHIC BES-II data are compared to non-critical models from Lattice QCD, HRG, hydrodynamics and UrQMD, with volume fluctuation effects noted at fixed-target energies.
