The STAR Time Projection Chamber (TPC) is used to record the collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The TPC is the central element in a suite of detectors that surrounds the interaction vertex. The TPC provides complete coverage around the beam-line, and provides complete tracking for charged particles within ± 1.8 units of pseudo-rapidity of the center-of-mass frame. Charged particles with momenta greater than

- J/ψ Production at High Transverse Momenta in P+p and Au + Au Collisions at √SNN=200 GeV (2013, methodology): “y the distribution of charged-particle multiplicity within the pseudorapidity range |η|<0.5 [19]. In this analysis, J/ψ→ e+e− decays were reconstructed using the STAR Time Projection Chamber (TPC) [21] and the BEMC [18] with full azimuthal coverage over the pseudorapidity range |η|<1 [15, 22].”
- Global polarization of $\Lambda$ hyperons in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}$ = 200 GeV (2018, unknown): “The ratio of the number of hit points used to the maximum possible number of hit points (45 for a track traversing the entire TPC but could be smaller depending on trajectory) was required to be larger than 0.52.”
- Antinuclei in heavy-ion collisions (2018, background): “The TPC is filled with P10 gas (10% methane, 90% argon) regulated at 2 mbar above atmospheric pressure [91].”
