Abstract

The STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider RHIC has a rich physics program both for the study of relativistic heavy ion collisions and spin structure measurements with polarized protons. In order to improve the capabilities for heavy flavor measurements in heavy ion and polarized proton collisions and to allow the identification of the charge sign of W bosons produced in polarized proton collisions at 500GeV, an upgrade of the tracking system both in the central and the forward region is pursued. The integrated system providing high-resolution tracking and secondary vertex reconstruction capabilities will use silicon pixel, strip and GEM technology.
