Single spin asymmetry measurements for inclusive productions in and \pi^-+\p_{\uparrow}\to \pi^0+X reactions at 70 and 40 GeV respectively
The inclusive asymmetries were measured in reactions and at 70 and 40 GeV/c respectively. The
measurements were made at the central region (for the first reaction) and
asymmetry is compatible with zero in the entire measured region. For the
second reaction the asymmetry is zero for small region () and increases with growth of . Averaged
over the interval the asymmetry was .Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures; Presented at SPIN-2004 at Trieste, October

Correlations in STAR: interferometry and event structure
STAR observes a complex picture of RHIC collisions where correlation effects
of different origins -- initial state geometry, semi-hard scattering,
hadronization, as well as final state interactions such as quantum intensity
interference -- coexist. Presenting the measurements of flow, mini-jet
deformation, modified hadronization, and the Hanbury Brown and Twiss effect, we
trace the history of the system from the initial to the final state. The
resulting picture is discussed in the context of identifying the relevant
degrees of freedom and the likely equilibration mechanism.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, plenary talk at the 5th International Conference
