NA.00001: RHIC Beam Energy Scan Program and Beyond Invited Speaker: Nu Xu Since 2010, STAR Collaboration has undertaken the Beam Energy Scan (BES) program at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) in order to understand the QCD phase structure. Over a wide energy range, from 3 to 200 GeV Au+Au collisions, the RHIC BES program has recorded the world largest datasets. Despite of challenges in colliding gold ions at the energy that is two orders of magnitude lower than the designed one, the campaign on data taking has completed successfully and the physics analysis is underway. In this talk, I will present selected results from the first phase of the BES with focus on collective dynamics and fluctuations in high-energy nuclear collisions. Physics implications of these results and future prospects, especially the QCD phase structure at the high baryon density region, will be discussed. |

NA.00003: RHIC Cold QCD Program Invited Speaker: Sanghwa Park One of the main physics goals of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) is to study the structure and QCD dynamics of the nucleon. Its unique capability as the world's only polarized proton collider has produced a wealth of data and provided new insights into the spin structure of the proton. In addition RHIC delivered polarized proton and nucleus collisions in 2015 for the first time which allowed us to explore nuclear effects in spin observables. The RHIC p+p and p+A measurements are also complementary to lepton-nucleus scattering data and therefore provide important tests of fundamental concepts of QCD. This talk will summarize recent highlights of the RHIC cold QCD program. I will also discuss the prospects of the future RHIC measurements and the Electron Ion Collider. |
