We report measurements of the charge-separated $W^{+(-)} to e^{+(-)} + u_e(bar{ u}_e)$ and $Z/gamma^* to e^+e^-$ production cross sections at mid-rapidity in proton-proton collisions at $sqrt{s}$ = 500 GeV. These results are based on 13.2 pb$^{-1}$ of data recorded in 2009 by the STAR detector at RHIC. Production cross sections for W bosons that decay via the $e u$ channel were measured to be $sigma(pp to W^+ X) cdot BR(W^+ to e^+ u_e)$ = 117.3 pm 5.9(stat) pm 6.2(syst) pm 15.2(lumi) pb, and $sigma(pp to W^- X) cdot BR(W^- to e^- bar{ u}_e)$ = 43.3 pm 4.6(stat) pm 3.4(syst) pm 5.6(lumi) pb. For $Z/gamma^*$ production, $sigma(pp to Z/gamma^* X) cdot BR(Z/gamma^* to e^+ e^-)$ = 7.7 pm 2.1(stat) $^{+0.5}_{-0.9}$(syst) pm 1.0(lumi) pb for di-lepton invariant masses $m_{e^+e^-}$ between 70 and 110 GeV/$c^2$. First measurements of the W cross section ratio, $sigma(pp to W^+ X) / sigma(pp to W^- X)$, at $sqrt{s}$ = 500 GeV are also reported. Theoretical predictions, calculated using recent parton distribution functions, are found to agree with the measured cross sections.

We present measurements of the differential cross sections of inclusive $J/psi$ meson production as a function of transverse momentum ($p_{T}^{J/psi}$) using the $mu^{+}mu^{-}$ and $e^{+}e^{-}$ decay channels in proton+proton collisions at center-of-
mass energies of 510 and 500 GeV, respectively, recorded by the STAR detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The measurement from the $mu^{+}mu^{-}$ channel is for 0 $< p_{T}^{J/psi} <$ 9 GeV/$c$ and rapidity range $|y^{J/psi}| < $ 0.4, and that from the $e^{+}e^{-}$ channel is for 4 $< p_{T}^{J/psi} <$ 20 GeV/$c$ and $|y^{J/psi}| < $ 1.0. The $psi(2S)$ to $J/psi$ ratio is also measured for 4 $< p_{T}^{rm meson} <$ 12 GeV/$c$ through the $e^{+}e^{-}$ decay channel. Model calculations, which incorporate different approaches toward the $J/psi$ production mechanism, are compared with experimental results and show reasonable agreement within uncertainties.
The cross sections for the reactions $e^+e^- to phieta, quad phieta, quad rhoeta, quad rhoeta$ have been measured using a data sample of 516 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider. The correspondin
g values of the cross sections are: $1.4 pm 0.4 pm 0.1$ fb $(phieta)$, $5.3 pm 1.1 pm 0.4$ fb $(phieta)$, $3.1 pm 0.5 pm 0.1$ fb $(rhoeta)$ and $3.3 pm 0.6 pm 0.2$ fb $(rhoeta)$. The energy dependence of the cross sections is presented using Belle measurements together with those of CLEO and BaBar.
A measurement of the cross-section for pp->Z->e+e- is presented using data at sqrt{s}=7TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 0.94 fb^{-1}. The process is measured within the kinematic acceptance pT>20GeV/c and 2<eta<4.5 for the daughter el
ectrons and dielectron invariant mass in the range 60--120GeV/c^2. The cross-section is determined to be sigma(pp->Z->e+e-)=76.0+-0.8+-2.0+-2.6pb where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic and the third is the uncertainty in the luminosity. The measurement is performed as a function of Z rapidity and as a function of an angular variable which is closely related to the Z transverse momentum. The results are compared with previous LHCb measurements and with theoretical predictions from QCD.
We report results on the total and elastic cross sections in proton-proton collisions at $sqrt{s}=200$ GeV obtained with the Roman Pot setup of the STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The elastic differential cross section
was measured in the squared four-momentum transfer range $0.045 leq -t leq 0.135$ GeV$^2$. The value of the exponential slope parameter $B$ of the elastic differential cross section $dsigma/dt sim e^{-Bt}$ in the measured $-t$ range was found to be $B = 14.32 pm 0.09 (stat.)^{scriptstyle +0.13}_{scriptstyle -0.28} (syst.)$ GeV$^{-2}$. The total cross section $sigma_{tot}$, obtained from extrapolation of the $dsigma/dt$ to the optical point at $-t = 0$, is $sigma_{tot} = 54.67 pm 0.21 (stat.) ^{scriptstyle +1.28}_{scriptstyle -1.38} (syst.)$ mb. We also present the values of the elastic cross section $sigma_{el} = 10.85 pm 0.03 (stat.) ^{scriptstyle +0.49}_{scriptstyle -0.41}(syst.)$ mb, the elastic cross section integrated within the STAR $t$-range $sigma^{det}_{el} = 4.05 pm 0.01 (stat.) ^{scriptstyle+0.18}_{scriptstyle -0.17}(syst.)$ mb, and the inelastic cross section $sigma_{inel} = 43.82 pm 0.21 (stat.) ^{scriptstyle +1.37}_{scriptstyle -1.44} (syst.)$ mb. The results are compared with the world data.
We report first measurements of $e^{+}e^{-}$ pair production in the mass region 0.4 $<M_{ee}<$ 2.6 GeV/$c^{2}$ at low transverse momentum ($p_T<$ 0.15 GeV/$c$) in non-central Au$+$Au collisions at $sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV and U$+$U collisions at $sqr
t{s_{NN}}$ = 193 GeV. Significant enhancement factors, expressed as ratios of data over known hadronic contributions, are observed in the 40-80% centrality of these collisions. The excess yields peak distinctly at low-$p_T$ with a width ($sqrt{langle p^2_Trangle}$) between 40 to 60 MeV/$c$. The absolute cross section of the excess depends weakly on centrality while those from a theoretical model calculation incorporating an in-medium broadened $rho$ spectral function and radiation from a Quark Gluon Plasma or hadronic cocktail contributions increase dramatically with increasing number of participant nucleons. Model calculations of photon-photon interactions generated by the initial projectile and target nuclei describe the observed excess yields but fail to reproduce the $p^{2}_{T}$ distributions.
