Anti-particle/particle ratios vs rapidity at SNN=200 GeV
• At y=0 (20% central) pbar/p = 0.75 ±0.04 K-/K+ = 0.95 ±0.05 = 1.01 ±0.04• Highest pbar/p ratio but still
incomplete transparency (~17% increase from 130 GeV)
• Ratios ~identical over +-1 unit around mid-rapidity.
• Weak centrality and pT dependence
• No Hyperon feed down correction applied: less then 5% correction assuming
• Lambda/p ~ 0.5 and pbar/p ~ Lambda-Bar/Lambda

• By simple quark counting in quark recombination K-/K+
= exp(2s/T)exp(-2q/T)
= exp(2s/T)(pbar/p)1/3
= (pbar/p)1/3
by assuming local (y) strangeness conservation
• K-/K+=(pbar/p) = 0.24±0.02 for BRAHMS = 0.20±0.01 for SPS• Good agreement with the statistical-
thermal model prediction by Beccatini et al. (PRC64 2001): Based on SPS results and assuming T=170 MeV

,K,p Spectra at 0-10% Central at y=0 and y = 3
• Spectra gets softer at higher rapidity• pbar yield drops rapidly with rapidity• protons and pions

- y~3: pT 1.2 GeV/c • Protons over K+
- y~0: at high pT (>1GeV/c)

dN/dy of Net-proton and Models for 0-10% central
• “Plateau” at |y| < 1 the yields by 18, 20% at
y=0,2.9• Net-baryon at y =0: ~16 (if N(proton)/N(neutron) 1 ) • More data to be analyzed (at
y~2,3.3)• Hyperon feed down will
reduce
• A range of models is still allowed with these data.
Mar. 13 2003 SQM03
J.H. Lee (BNL) 15
• Estimating y = (ybeam-y) dN/dy / dN/dy , as has been done for lower energy data.
• Baryon conservation tells us net(p) ~ 68 for Npart~340 (0-10%) or ~85 in the case of full proton/neutron equilibration, N(p) = N(n).
• The net(p) measured is ~36. Distributing the remaining 32(53) protons in rapidity interval 3 - 5.4 with a variety of assumptions leads to an estimated range of
y of 1.8 - 2.4. I.e. 2.1 ±0.3. Either extremes would require unusual
rapidity distributions.• Even though we do not have
measurements in 3-5.4, we may extend another .4 units in future how can we estimate rapidity loss.
• We plan to refine this value once all data have been analyzed.

• AMPT: (A Multiphase Transport Model) HIJING to generate the initial phase space of parton, then extends to quark-gluon to hadronic-matter transition and the final hadron interaction (B. Zhang, C.M. Ko, B. Li, Z.Lin Phys. Rev. C 61 (2001) 067901)
