标题： RHIC Critical Point Search: Assessing STAR's Capabilities

摘要： 在本报告中，我们讨论STAR探测器在RHIC低能扫描中寻找QCD临界点特征的能力和局限性。 我们发现，RHIC的低能扫描将覆盖核物质相图中的一个广阔兴趣区域，而STAR探测器——一种为测量此搜索中感兴趣的量而设计的探测器——将提供新的可观测量，并在此能量范围内改进之前的测量。 显示英文摘要

摘要： In this report we discuss the capabilities and limitations of the STAR detector to search for signatures of the QCD critical point in a low energy scan at RHIC. We find that a RHIC low energy scan will cover a broad region of interest in the nuclear matter phase diagram and that the STAR detector -- a detector designed to measure the quantities that will be of interest in this search -- will provide new observables and improve on previous measurements in this energy range.
