Abstract:The estimates for W+/- and Z0 production rates and various background contributions in the STAR detector with the barrel electromagnetic calo- rimeter are presented. These results were obtained by Monte-Carlo simu- lations with the PYTHIA V5.6/JETSET V7.3 of the LUND set of routines and GEANT V3.15
