We report on measurements of dielectron (e + e − ) production in Au+Au collisions at a centerof-mass energy of 200 GeV per nucleon-nucleon pair using the STAR detector at RHIC. Systematic measurements of the dielectron yield as a function of transverse momentum (pT) and collision centrality show an enhancement compared to a cocktail simulation of hadronic sources in the low invariant-mass region (Mee < 1 GeV/c 2 ). This enhancement cannot be reproduced by the ρ-meson vacuum spectral function. In minimum-bias collisions, in the invariant-mass range of 0.30 − 0.76 GeV/c 2 , integrated over the full pT acceptance, the enhancement factor is 1.76 ± 0.06 (stat.) ± 0.26 (sys.) ± 0.29 (cocktail). The enhancement factor exhibits weak centrality and pT dependence in STAR's accessible kinematic regions, while the excess yield in this invariantmass region as a function of the number of participating nucleons follows a power-law shape with a power of 1.44 ± 0.10. Models that assume an in-medium broadening of the ρ meson spectral function consistently describe the observed excess in these measurements. Additionally, we report on measurements of ω and φ-meson production through their e + e − decay channel. These measurements show good agreement with Tsallis Blast-Wave model predictions as well as, in the case of the φ-meson, results through its K + K − decay channel. In the intermediate invariant-mass region (1.1< Mee < 3 GeV/c 2 ), we investigate the spectral shapes from different collision centralities. 3Physics implications for possible in-medium modification of charmed hadron production and other physics sources are discussed.

We report measurements of charmed-hadron (D 0 , D * ) production cross sections at mid-rapidity in p + p collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 200 GeV by the STAR experiment. Charmed hadrons were reconstructed via the hadronic decaysand their charge conjugates, covering the pT range of 0.6−2.0 GeV/c and 2.0−6.0 GeV/c for D 0 and D * + , respectively. From this analysis, the charm-pair production cross section at mid-rapidity is dσ/dy| cc y=0 = 170 ± 45 (stat.) +38 −59 (sys.) µb. The extracted charm-pair cross section is compared to perturbative QCD calculations. The transverse momentum dierential cross section is found to be consistent with the upper bound of a Fixed-Order Next-to-Leading Logarithm calculation.
