In this report we discuss the capabilities and limitations of the STAR
detector to search for signatures of the QCD critical point in a low energy
scan at RHIC. We find that a RHIC low energy scan will cover a broad region of
interest in the nuclear matter phase diagram and that the STAR detector -- a
detector designed to measure the quantities that will be of interest in this
search -- will provide new observables and improve on previous measurements in
this energy range.Comment: 9 pages, 6 figures, proceedings for "The 3rd edition of the
