Abstract
We report on the yield of protons and antiprotons, as a function of centrality and transverse momentum, in Au + Au collisions at √sNN = 200 GeV measured at midrapidity by the PHENIX experiment at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. In central collisions at intermediate transverse momenta (1.5 < pT < 4.5 GeV/c) a significant fraction of all produced particles are protons and antiprotons. They show a centrality-scaling behavior different from that of pions. The p̅ /π and p/π ratios are enhanced compared to peripheral Au + Au, p + p, and e+e- collisions. This enhancement is limited to pT <5 GeV/c as deduced from the ratio of charged hadrons to π0 measured in the range 1.5 < pT < 9 GeV/c.
