Penetrating probes Bulk probes
- “jets” and heavy flavor - v2 partonic collectivity - spectra at low pT, particle ratios.
Electromagnetic probes: - vector meson properties (,e+e-) chiral symmetry restoration - thermal dileptons and photons TQGP

Muons: Penetrating Probes A large area of muon telescope detector (MTD) at mid-rapidity, allows for the detection of
• di-muon pairs from QGP thermal radiation, quarkonia, light vector mesons, possible correlations of quarks and gluons as resonances in QGP, and Drell-Yan production • single muons from their semi- leptonic decays of heavy flavor hadrons• advantages over electrons: no conversion, much less Dalitz decay contribution, less affected by radiative losses in the detector materials

Concept of Design
A pseudo detector with scintillator covering the whole iron bars and left the gaps in-between uncovered.
1. muon efficiency: 35-45%, pion efficiency: 0.5-1%2. muon-to-pion enhancement factor: 50-1003. muon-to-hadron enhancement factor: 100-1000 including track matching, tof
and dE/dx4. dimuon trigger enhancement factor from online trigger: 10-50 (Guoji Lin, DNP06)

This together with DAQ1000 will greatly enhance our capability of J/ and other dilepton program in RHIC II and future QCD Lab

Hadron Rejection at Intermediate pT
pT (GeV) Part of the hits come from the secondary muons from hadron decay. Some can
be removed by using distance of closest approach (DCA) to the vertex on the corresponding track. Guoji Lin, DNP06
Pion efficiency is ~0.5%, pion rejection is about 100 at intermediate pT; Kaons and protons can be rejected by TOF and dE/dx in TPC, hadron rejection is ~300.

Summary and Future Plan • Cosmic and beam tests:
intrinsic timing resolution of long MRPC: ~60-70 ps
spatial resolution: ~1 cm
• The prototype of MTD works at STAR in year 2007. We observed:
---- clear narrow muon peak
---- hadron rejection: 200-300 (requiring track matching)
---- spatial resolution: ~10 cm, consistent with simulation
---- time resolution: ~300 ps
• The possible physics topics to do: electron muon correlation, muon spectra and v2 in run7 (2007) Au+Au collisions at 200 GeV
• The plan: analyze the data in run8 (2008) d+Au and p+p collisions

Towards the Future at STAR
Current hardware supports at STAR:• HV supply for Long-MRPC: 2 channels from TOF• Low voltage supply for read-out electronic boards: old TOF • Gas system: share with TOF• Gas control computer: share with TOF• DAQ system: trigger, including DSM and 2 CDB• VPD (start time detector): DSM
This set up: run 9 at STAR as well; have a plan to install another tray with TOF electronics
Towards the future:• Collaborators for a proposal of full scale detector
Gas, VPD: share with TOF Electronics: similar to TOF HV, LV: similar to TOF Trigger: DSM and QT Boards
