Abstract

STAR observes a complex picture of RHIC collisions where correlation effects of different origins–initial state geometry, semi-hard scattering, hadronization, as well as final state interactions such as quantum intensity interference - coexist. Presenting the measurements of flow, mini-jet deformation, modified hadronization, and the Hanbury Brown and Twiss effect, we trace the history of the system from the initial to the final state. The resulting picture is discussed in the context of identifying the relevant degrees of freedom and the likely equilibration mechanism.
