Corrected mid-rapidity (|y| < 0.5) pT spectra for $K^{+}$, $K^{−}$, $K^{0}_{S}$, Λ, Ξ, and Ω. Λ spectra that have been corrected for feed-down are shown as open symbols in the Λ panel. The dashed lines are fits using Equation 11 except for the $\Omega+\overline{\Omega}$ where the fit uses Equation 9. The error bars displayed include systematic errors while the fits were done using statistical errors only for all species except the charged kaons.

Mid-rapidity (|y| < 0.5) ratios of $\overline{\Lambda}$ to $\Lambda$ and $\overline{\Xi}^{+}$ to $\Xi^{-}$ vs $p_{T}$. The dashed lines in 10(b) and 10(c) are the errorweighted means over the measured $p_{T}$ range, 0.882±0.017 for $\overline{\Lambda}/\Lambda$, 0.921±0.062 for $\overline{\Xi}/\Xi$. Figure 10(a) shows the $p_{T}$ averaged ratio for our measured species compared with measurements from Au+Au. The error bars are statistical only. The dashed line in 10(a) is at unity for reference.

⟨$p_{T}$⟩ vs particle mass for different particles measured by STAR. Error bars include systematic errors. The ISR parameterization is given in reference [32]

⟨$p_{T}$⟩ vs charged multiplicity for $K^{+}$, $K^{−}$, $K^{0}_{S}$, $\Lambda+\overline{\Lambda}$, and $\Xi+\overline{\Xi}$. The points for $\Xi+\overline{\Xi}$ have been determined using only the measured region. The error bars are statistical only. See text for more details.

Parameters of ratio data to statistical model fit using THERMUS. Filled circles are ratios from $\sqrt{s}$=200 GeV collisions in STAR. Solid lines are the results from the statis- tical model fit. All ratios to the left of the vertical line were used in the fit. The $(\Omega^{-}+\overline{\Omega^{+}})/\Xi^{-}$ ratio was then predicted from the fit results. The dashed lines in the lower panel are guides for the eye at 1 σ.

Upper plot: points are measured $p/E_{tower}$ electron peak position as a function of the distance to the center of the tower. The solid line is from a calculation based on a full GEANT simulation of the detector response to electrons. Lower plot: points show measured energy deposited by electrons in the tower as a function of the momentum for distances to the center of the tower smaller than 2.0 cm. The first point is the electron equivalent energy of the minimum ionizing particles. The solid line is a second order polynomial fit of the data.

Mean values from GEANT simulations of the energy deposited in the EMC by various hadronic species as a function of momentum.

Spatial profiles of energy deposition in the EMC as a function of distance ($d$) from the hit point to the center of the tower for $\pi^{+}$ and $\pi^{-}$ from simulations and for positive and negative hadrons from data. The arrow indicates the distance corresponding to the border of a tower in 0 < $\eta$ < 0.2. An overall agreement between the shapes of the profiles is observed, with a small normalization difference.

Event-by-event ratio of the reconstructed electromagnetic energy for the most central events. The solid line is a gaussian fit.

Total Transverse Energy for 0 < $\eta$ < 1. The minimum bias distribution is presented as well as the distributions for the different centrality bins (see table III). The shaded area corresponds to the 5% most central bin. The main axis scale corresponds to the $E_{T}$ measured in the detector acceptance and the bottom axis is corrected to represent the extrapolation to full azimuthal acceptance.

⟨$dE_{T}/d\eta|_{\eta=0.5}$⟩ per $N_{part}$ pair vs. $N_{part}$. Upper panel: $N_{part}$ is obtained from Monte Carlo Glauber calculations. The lines show calculations using the HIJING model [27](solid), the EKRT saturation model [7] (dotted, Eq. 8) and the two component fit (dashed, see text). Results from WA98 [14] and PHENIX [15] are also shown. The grey bands correspond to overall systematic uncertainties, independent of $N_{part}$. Error bars are the quadrature sum of the errors on the measurements and the uncertainties on $N_{part}$ calculation. Lower panel: the same data are shown as in the upper panel but using and Optical Glauber model calculation for $N_{part}$. The line shows the same result from EKRT model calculation.

$dE_{T}/dy$ (see text for details) per $N_{part}$ pair vs $sqrt{s_{NN}}$ for central events. In this figure $dE_{T}/dy/(0.5N_{part})$ is seen to grow logarithmicaly with $sqrt{s_{NN}}$. The error bar in the STAR point represents the total systematic uncertainty. The solid line is a EKRT model prediction [7], corrected for $d\eta/dy$, for central Au+Au collisions.

Upper panel - ⟨$dE_{T}/d\eta⟩/⟨dN_{ch}/d\eta$⟩ vs $N_{part}$. Predictions from HIJING simulations for Au+Au at 200 GeV are presented. Results from WA98 [14] and PHENIX [15] are also shown. The grey band corresponds to an overall normalization uncertainty for the STAR measurement. Bottom panel - Charged hadrons mean transverse momentum as a function of $N_{part}$ [37].
