Results from high energy nucleus-nucleus collisions at RHIC have shown the importance of particle identification in a very large momentum range, in particular for protons. The ALICE experiment has unique capabilities to identify particles; however its momentum coverage for track-by-track identificat
The HFT is the vertex-detector upgrade for the STAR experiment at RHIC. It is replacing the decommissioned silicon drift detector (SVT) with active pixel technology close to the beam pipe in order to increase by about an order of magnitude the track-pointing (DCA) resolution. This will allow direct
A progress report is given for the various components of the STAR detector system. We report on the recent developments in the detector proto-typing and construction, with an emphasis on the main TPC, recent TPC cosmic ray testing and shipping to Brookhaven National Laboratory
