The Solenoidal Tracker at RHIC (STAR) is a detector that specializes in tracking the thousands of particles produced by each ion collision at RHIC. Weighing 1,200 tons and as large as a house, STAR is a massive detector. It is used to search for signatures of the form of matter that RHIC was designed to create and study: the quark-gluon plasma. It is also used to investigate the behavior of matter at high densities by making measurements over a wide range of beam energies. (Courtesy of Brookhaven National Laboratory)
