During the past decade, catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has evolved rapidly from an
investigational procedure to its current status as a commonly performed ablation procedure …

We highlight the progress, current status, and open challenges of QCD-driven physics, in
theory and in experiment. We discuss how the strong interaction is intimately connected to a …

Cryosurgery has been an integral part of the surgical management of cardiac arrhythmias
since the late 1970s. With the recent development of intravenous cryocatheters, the use of …

We review the most important experimental results from the first three years of nucleus–nucleus
collision studies at RHIC, with emphasis on results from the STAR experiment, and we …

Identified charged-particle spectra of π±, K±, p, and p at midrapidity (| y|< 0. 1) measured by
the dE/dx method in the STAR (solenoidal tracker at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider) …

We report high statistics measurements of inclusive charged hadron production in A u+ A u
and p+ p collisions at s NN= 200 G e V. A large, approximately constant hadron suppression …

The STAR Time Projection Chamber (TPC) is used to record the collisions at the Relativistic
Heavy Ion Collider. The TPC is the central element in a suite of detectors that surrounds the …

Azimuthal correlations for large transverse momentum charged hadrons have been measured
over a wide pseudorapidity range and full azimuth in A u+ A u and p+ p collisions at s NN…

We report measurements of single-particle inclusive spectra and two-particle azimuthal
distributions of charged hadrons at high transverse momentum (high p T) in minimum bias and …

Inclusive transverse momentum distributions of charged hadrons within 0.2< p T< 6.0 G e V/c
have been measured over a broad range of centrality for A u+ A u collisions at s NN= 130 …
