Published online: 1 February 2022
In these proceedings, some of the latest results from the STAR experiment on heavy, strange and light flavor hadron production and their flow are summarized. Over the years STAR has collected heavy ion collision data over a wide range of collision energies from √SNN = 200 GeV down to √SNN = 3 GeV. In high energy heavy ion collisions, heavy flavor hadrons are a valuable probe to study properties of the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) created in these collisions. Measurements of strange and light flavor hadrons at lower collision energies help understand the properties of the QCD matter at finite baryon densities and the phase structure of the QCD matter. Furthermore, the high statistics data collected at √SNN = 3 GeV allows measurements of hypernuclei production and flow, which can provide insights into the hyperon - nucleon interactions and hyperon contribution to the nuclear equation of state.
