Abstract
Parton energy loss, quarkonium sequential melting and particle production from electromagnetic interactions are tools to study Quark Gluon Plasma properties. The STAR detector, with large acceptance at mid-rapidity, excellent particle identification and wide transverse momentum coverage, is able to study these probes in details. In Hard Probes 2015, the STAR collaboration reported measurements of reconstructed jets, heavy-flavor physics, di-lepton production and the performance of new detectors in seven presentations and one poster. Given the rich results from STAR, this overview report will focus on a few selected results on jets and Ï measurements in Au+Au collisions at sNN=200Â GeV, J/Ï production in p+p collisions at sNN=500Â GeV, and the di-electron spectrum in the low mass region from the Beam Energy Scan - Phase I.
