2 Nu Xu2/15 STAR Collaboration Meeting, BNL, February 24 – March 1, 2013 RHIC Physics Focus Polarized p+p program - Study proton intrinsic properties Forward program - Study low-x properties, initial condition, search for CGC - Study elastic and inelastic processes in pp2pp 1) At 200 GeV at RHIC - Study medium properties, EoS - pQCD in hot and dense medium 2) RHIC beam energy scan (BES) - Search for the QCD critical point - Chiral symmetry restoration 2020 - eRHIC (eSTAR) 2020 - eRHIC (eSTAR)
