1 Analysis of fixed target collisions with the STAR detector Brooke Haag for the STAR Collaboration Hartnell College / University of California, Davis Presented at the Meeting of the California Section of the APS November 11, 2011
2 Creating mini-big bangs in the laboratory Goal: Use relativistic collisions of nuclei to create hot dense matter which reproduces the earliest stages of the universe ions about to collide ion collision 2 plasma creation hadron production

In 2010 (and continuing through 2011) an extensive beam energy scan was undertaken at RHIC with a major goal to find the critical point. Fixed target collisions could extend the physics analysis to even lower s. 3

11 Conclusions and Outlook We can do physics with STAR as a fixed target experiment! We have been able to extract pion spectra for fixed target collisions at lab rapidity working to understand detector efficiency at high rapidities via simulated events checking pion contamination, stability of multiplicity as a function of zvertex Yields and slopes compare favorably with published data in this energy range We can extend the search for the critical point to lower energies We have more fixed target data at (snn) of 3.0 and 3.5 GeV 11
