The STAR Collaboration at RHIC has measured two-pion correlation functions from p+p collisions at sqrt(s)=200 GeV. Spatial scales are extracted via a femtoscopic analysis of the correlations, though this analysis is complicated by the presence of strong non-femtoscopic effects. Our results are put into the context of the world dataset of femtoscopy in hadron-hadron collisions. We present the first direct comparison of femtoscopy in p+p and heavy ion collisions, under identical analysis and detector conditions.

We report on a measurement of the Upsilon(1S+2S+3S) -> e+e- cross section at midrapidity in p+p collisions at sqrt(s)=200 GeV. We find the cross section to be 114 +/- 38 (stat.) +23,-24 (syst.) pb. Perturbative QCD calculations at next-to-leading ord er in the Color Evaporation Model are in agreement with our measurement, while calculations in the Color Singlet Model underestimate it by 2 sigma. Our result is consistent with the trend seen in world data as a function of the center-of-mass energy of the collision and extends the availability of Upsilon data to RHIC energies. The dielectron continuum in the invariant mass range near the Upsilon is also studied to obtain a combined cross section of Drell-Yan plus (b b-bar) -> e+e-.
Particle production sensitive to non-factorizable and non-perturbative processes that contribute to the underlying event associated with a high transverse momentum ($p_{T}$) jet in proton+proton collisions at $sqrt{s}$=200 GeV is studied with the STA R detector. Each event is divided into three regions based on the azimuthal angle with respect to the highest-$p_{T}$ jet direction: in the leading jet direction (Toward), opposite to the leading jet (Away), and perpendicular to the leading jet (Transverse). In the Transverse region, the average charged particle density is found to be between 0.4 and 0.6 and the mean transverse momentum, $langle p_{T}rangle$, between 0.5-0.7 GeV/$c$ for particles with $p_{T}$$>$0.2 GeV/$c$ at mid-pseudorapidity ($|eta|$$<$1) and jet $p_{T}$$>$15 GeV/$c$. Both average particle density and $langle p_{T}rangle$ depend weakly on the leading jet $p_{T}$. Closer inspection of the Transverse region hints that contributions to the underlying event from initial- and final-state radiation are significantly smaller in these collisions than at the higher energies, up to 13 TeV, recorded at the LHC. Underlying event measurements associated with a high-$p_{T}$ jet will contribute to our understanding of QCD processes at hard and soft scales at RHIC energies, as well as provide constraints to modeling of underlying event dynamics.
We report on a polarization measurement of inclusive $J/psi$ mesons in the di-electron decay channel at mid-rapidity at 2 $<p_{T}<$ 6 GeV/$c$ in $p+p$ collisions at $sqrt{s}$ = 200 GeV. Data were taken with the STAR detector at RHIC. The $J/psi$ pola rization measurement should help to distinguish between different models of the $J/psi$ production mechanism since they predict different $p_{T}$ dependences of the $J/psi$ polarization. In this analysis, $J/psi$ polarization is studied in the helicity frame. The polarization parameter $lambda_{theta}$ measured at RHIC becomes smaller towards high $p_{T}$, indicating more longitudinal $J/psi$ polarization as $p_{T}$ increases. The result is compared with predictions of presently available models.
We present strange particle spectra and yields measured at mid-rapidity in $sqrt{text{s}}=200$ GeV proton-proton ($p+p$) collisions at RHIC. We find that the previously observed universal transverse mass ($mathrm{m_{T}}equivsqrt{mathrm{p_{T}}^{2}+mat hrm{m}^{2}}$) scaling of hadron production in $p+p$ collisions seems to break down at higher mt and that there is a difference in the shape of the mt spectrum between baryons and mesons. We observe mid-rapidity anti-baryon to baryon ratios near unity for $Lambda$ and $Xi$ baryons and no dependence of the ratio on transverse momentum, indicating that our data do not yet reach the quark-jet dominated region. We show the dependence of the mean transverse momentum (mpt) on measured charged particle multiplicity and on particle mass and infer that these trends are consistent with gluon-jet dominated particle production. The data are compared to previous measurements from CERN-SPS, ISR and FNAL experiments and to Leading Order (LO) and Next to Leading order (NLO) string fragmentation model predictions. We infer from these comparisons that the spectral shapes and particle yields from $p+p$ collisions at RHIC energies have large contributions from gluon jets rather than quark jets.
We report on mid-rapidity mass spectrum of di-electrons and cross sections of pseudoscalar and vector mesons via $e^{+}e^{-}$ decays, from $sqrt{s} = 200$ GeV $p+p$ collisions, measured by the large acceptance experiment STAR at RHIC. The ratio of th e di-electron continuum to the combinatorial background is larger than 10% over the entire mass range. Simulations of di-electrons from light-meson decays and heavy-flavor decays (charmonium and open charm correlation) are found to describe the data. The extracted $omegarightarrow e^{+}e^{-}$ invariant yields are consistent with previous measurements. The mid-rapidity yields ($dN/dy$) of $phi$ and $J/psi$ are extracted through their di-electron decay channels and are consistent with the previous measurements of $phirightarrow K^{+}K^{-}$ and $J/psirightarrow e^{+}e^{-}$. Our results suggest a new upper limit of the branching ratio of the $eta rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}$ of $1.7times10^{-5}$ at 90% confidence level.
