We present preliminary two-particle correlations for unidentified hadrons in p-p collisions at √s =200 GeV. On two-particle transverse rapidity space yt ⊗ yt two distinct regions of correlated pairs are observed: a peaked structure at low yt (Pt ≤ 0.4 GeV/c) and a broad structure at higher yt, where the correlation is distributed as a 2D Gaussian centered at yt1 = yt2 ≃ 2.8 (pt1, pt2 ≃ 1.2 GeV/c). We select those regions separately, projecting correlations onto momentum- difference variables (ηΔ, φΔ), and observe structures interpretable in the context of string and parton fragmentations from soft and semi-hard components of p-p collisions.

We present the first statistically meaningful results from two-Ks0 interferometry in heavy-ion collisions at sNN=200 GeV. A model that takes the effect of the strong interaction into account has been used to fit the measured correlation function. The effects of single and coupled channels were explored. At the mean transverse mass mT =1.07 GeV, we obtain the values R=4.09±0.46(stat)±0.31(sys) fm and λ=0.92±0.23(stat) ±0.13(sys), where R and λ are the invariant radius and chaoticity parameters, respectively. The results are qualitatively consistent with mT systematics established with pions in a scenario characterized by a strong collective flow. © 2006 The American Physical Society.

We present the first measurements of the ρ(770)0,K*(892), Δ(1232)++,Σ(1385), and Λ(1520) resonances in d+Au collisions at sNN=200 GeV, reconstructed via their hadronic decay channels using the STAR detector (the solenoidal tracker at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider). The masses and widths of these resonances are studied as a function of transverse momentum pT. We observe that the resonance spectra follow a generalized scaling law with the transverse mass mT. The pT of resonances in minimum bias collisions are compared with the pT of π,K, and p̄. The ρ0/π-,K*/K-,Δ++/p,Σ(1385)/Λ, and Λ(1520)/Λ ratios in d+Au collisions are compared with the measurements in minimum bias p+p interactions, where we observe that both measurements are comparable.
