AbstractThe first part of the beam energy scan (BES) program at RHIC was successfully completed in the years 2010 and 2011. First STAR results from particle yield measurements are in good agreement with previously published data from SPS and AGS experiments whereas other results like azimuthal HBT and K/π event-by-event fluctuations differ at some energies. In addition, new observations like the centrality dependence of chemical freeze-out parameters (T ch and µB) or the smoothly increasing difference with decreasing energy in the elliptic flow v 2 between particles and corresponding anti-particles, are discussed.

The STAR experiment at RHIC is upgrading the inner sectors of the Time Projection Chamber (iTPC) to increase the segmentation on the inner padplane from 13 to 40 rows and to replace the inner sector multiwire proportional chamber (MWPC). The upgrade will provide better momentum resolution, better dE/dx resolution, and most importantly it will provide improved acceptance at high rapidity to [Formula: see text]1.5 compared to the current TPC coverage of [Formula: see text]1.0. The enhanced TPC capabilities based on this upgrade are critical to the physics program of the Beam Energy Scan Phase II at RHIC during 2019-2020, in particular the QCD phase transition study. In this proceedings, the iTPC MWPC module fabrication and prototype testing results are discussed.
