Overview of the Status and Strangeness Capabilities of STAR
P. G. Jones, P. M. Jacobs, the STAR Collaboration
Abstract
STAR is a large acceptance spectrometer capable of precision measurements of a wide variety of strange particles. We discuss the STAR detector, its configuration during the first two years of RHIC operation, and its initial performance for Au+Au collisions. The expected performance for strangeness physics and initial data on strange particle reconstruction in Au+Au collisions are presented.
