> interferometry measurements in Au+Au collisions at √sNN = 9.2 GeV"
>
> Abstract: "We present the first measurements of identified hadron  
> production, azimuthal anisotropy, and pion interferometry from Au+Au  
> collisions below the nominal injection energy at the Relativistic  
> Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) facility. The data were collected using  
> the large acceptance STAR detector at √sNN = 9.2 GeV from a test  
> run of the collider in the year 2008. Midrapidity results on  
> multiplicity density (dN/dy) in rapidity (y), average transverse  
> momentum (<pT>), particle ratios, elliptic flow, and HBT radii are  
> consistent with the corresponding results at similar √sNN from  
> fixed target experiments. Directed flow measurements are presented  
> for both midrapidity and forward rapidity regions. Furthermore the  
> collision centrality dependence of identified particle dN/dy, <pT>,  
> and particle ratios are discussed. These results also demonstrate  
> the readiness of the STAR detector to undertake the proposed QCD  
> critical point search at RHIC."
