Summary

With discovery of Quark Gluon Plasma well-established at RHIC, the STAR
Experiment continues to work towards a more complete understanding of
properties of the produced matter, and the conditions necessary for the
phase change. We will present recent progress on characterizing quark matter
at high temperature through a wide variety of measurement techniques in
STAR's repertoire: from observing species suppression and correlations, to
determining statistical moments and prospecting for symmetry-breaking.

RHIC has further embarked on a program to study this matter through a range
of conditions achieved by varying the collision energies, which are hoped to
span and locate the QCD critical poi
