Subject: Release of STAR Paper


| Dear Tom, Bill, Wit, and Flemming,
| 
| On behalf of Tim Hallman (who is currently in China) I am pleased
| to announce the intention of STAR to submit
| a paper on "Production of charged pions and hadrons in Au+Au
| collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 130 GeV" to Physical Review C on
| October 22.  The abstract of the paper follows.
| 
| ABSTRACT:
| The STAR experiment has measured the production of charged hadrons
| and identified charged pions as a function of transverse
| momentum, (pseudo-)rapidity, and centrality in Au+Au collisions at
| sqrt(s_NN)=130 GeV.  The mean transverse momentum of charged hadrons
| (pions) increases by roughly 22%(15%) from peripheral to central
| collisions.  As a function of (pseudo-)rapidity, the measured yields
| and spectral shapes are consistent with a Lorentz-boost-invariant
| mid-rapidity region at least within |y|<0.5 for all collision
| centralities. We compare our measurements of the integrated charged
| particle (pseudo)-rapidity density per participating nucleon pair with
| two models representing different phenomenological concepts of
| particle production and featuring opposing parameterizations of
| the centrality dependence of the rapidity density. We furthermore
| explore the discriminating power of our measurement against the
| theoretical calculations in the light of uncertainties originating
| from the determination of the average number of participating nucleons
| <N_part>.
| 
| Your comments are welcome as always.
| 
|                                         Sincerely,
| 
|                                         Steve
|
