abstract
The STAR Time Projection Chamber (TPC) is used to record 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 100 MeV/c are recorded. Multiplicities in excess of 3,000 tracks per event are routinely reconstructed in the software. The TPC measures 4 m in diameter by 4.2 m long, making it the largest TPC in the world.

First measurement of energy correlators in jets from transversely polarized pp collisions at 200 GeV shows sizable spin asymmetries for pions that provide sensitivity to nucleon transversity with reduced fragmentation uncertainties.
First measurement of ^4_ΛHe yields in 3 GeV Au+Au collisions shows consistency with ^4_ΛH yields and JAM coalescence model while thermal model overpredicts absolute yields.
The pion emission source in Au+Au collisions is tilted with magnitude decreasing rapidly as collision energy rises from 7.7 to 27 GeV, indicating departure from longitudinal boost invariance.
K*0/K yield ratios in central Au+Au collisions at BES energies are suppressed relative to peripheral collisions and thermal predictions, indicating hadronic rescattering that strengthens at lower energies.
First semi-inclusive hadron-jet measurement in Ru+Ru and Zr+Zr at 200 GeV finds recoil-jet suppression and intra-jet broadening in central relative to peripheral collisions.
Muonic kaon atoms form in D0 decays with branching ratio 2.29×10^{-10} and via QGP coalescence, with projected yields at LHC and RHIC sufficient for first observation and secondary-vertex reconstruction.
Hypertriton yields and Lambda ratios increase at lower collision energies but remain a factor of two below thermal models, while the double ratio to triton production stays constant at 0.4, pointing to intrinsically lower coalescence probability.
STAR reports 20% suppression of recoiling hadrons and jets in high-event-activity O+O collisions at 200 GeV, with a measured 0.7 GeV/c pT shift for large-radius jets, providing evidence for jet quenching in small systems.
STAR reports energy-dependent variances and covariances of [p_T] and v_n^2 in Au+Au collisions from 14.6 to 200 GeV, with the dimensionless ratio remaining similar across energies.
Recent net-proton cumulant ratios from RHIC BES-II data are compared to non-critical models from Lattice QCD, HRG, hydrodynamics and UrQMD, with volume fluctuation effects noted at fixed-target energies.
