IntroductionHigh baryon to meson ratio at intermediate p
T (~1)
discovered at RHIC in Au+Au reactions (Adcox PHENIX) was inconsistent with pQCD predictions
It was pointed out that baryon to meson ration pT
dependence should be sensitive to: hadronization scenario baryon: 3 valence qarks, meson: quark – anti quark
radial flow of bulk medium proton mass > pion mass
Energy and centrality depencence of p/p+ and pbar/p- and their evolution on rapidity may allow to verify the
proposed scenarious
A bit of history
Quark coalescence can explain large mid-rapidity pbar/p- ratio at intermediate p
T range
when allow mini-jet partons to coalescence with QGP (thermal) partons(V. Greco, C.M. Ko, and P. Levai, PRL90 (2003)
022302)
PHENIX
Hydro model overpredicts mid-rapidity p/p+ ratio at low p
T (<2 GeV/c) and underpredicts at
pT>2.5.
Reasonable description by quark coalescence model (E.J. Kim, et al., Nucl. Phys. A 774 (2006) 493)

Data Analysis
protons
Same acceptance for pions and protons in the real time measurements. For given h-p
T bin p/p ratio is calculated on setting by setting basis using same pid
technique:Tof2: 2.3->~8GeV/c, RICH: above 9 GeV/c, thus acceptance corrections, tracking efficiency and trigger normalization factors cancel out in the ratio.Remaining corrections:i) decay in flight, interaction in the beam pipe and detector material (GEANT calculation)ii) correction for PID: pion contamination in Tof2 and RICH (limited mass2 resolution)
veto-proton contamination by pions and kaons (RICH efficiency < 1)

SummaryWe presented results on p/ p (p
T) ratio versus rapidity and collision centrality for Au+Au
at 200 and 62.4 GeV and for p+p at 200 GeV
1) weak dependency on collision centrality at low pT up to ~1.5GeV/c. Below p
T ~0.8GeV/c the
pbar/p- ratios for p+p are larger that these measured in Au+Au.
2) the dependency on centrality (as documented by Npart
scaling) reveals above pT>1.5GeV
3) For central Au+Au at 200 GeV p/ p + shows increasing trend with increasing rapidity from 1.0 (h~0, p
T=3 GeV/c) to about 2.5 (h~3, p
T=3 GeV/c). In opposite, pbar/ p - decreases with
increasing rapidity (from ~1 at h~0 to 0.4 at h~3).
4) The p/ p ratios are remarkably similar for √sNN
=200 GeV at h=2.2, and for √sNN
=62.4 GeV at
h=0, where the bulk medium is characterized by the same value pbar/p-
5) For Au+Au and p+p at √sNN
=62.4 GeV the astounding value of p/p is observed (~8 at
pT=1.5GeV/c). Au+Au consistent with p+p → no evidence for system size dependency in the
covered pT range.
Data comparison with models:
The THERMINATOR model provides reasonable quantitative description of the data except for p
T>3 GeV/c and mid-rapidity where it under predicts the ratios. AMPT(default) provides
qualitative description of the trends in rapidity evolution but can not describe dependency on centrality including p+p results. AMPT (string melting) is far from data particularly regarding the pbar/p- ratios

Same acceptance for pions and protons in the real time measurements. For given h-p
T bin p/p ratio is
calculated on setting by setting basis using same pid technique:Tof2: 2.3->~8GeV/c, RICH: above 9 GeV/c, thus acceptance corrections, tracking efficiency trigger normalization canceled out in the ratio.Remaining corrections:i) decay in flight, interaction in beam pipe and material budged (GEANT calculation)ii) correction for PID efficiency and contamination (limited specie resolution)
Data Analysis: RICH inefficiency
1. ineffic = veto/all2. Additional control of specie dependence by comparing A (less protons) and B (more protons) polarities:
High field runs Low field runs
3. observed dependency on T5 x-slope, similar to that encountered at low field runs
1. Identify pions with no RICH ring (RICH veto pions) in tof2.ineffic = veto pions / all pions 2. two relevant dependencies are found: a) dependency on p/p
th (Cherenkov threshold effect)
b) dependency on track x-slope (geometrical effect)
3. For fields like 608 and 861 p/pth>>1 and
geometrical effect can be studied alone. Then in can be use to disentangle Cherenkov threshold effect for lower field run (430) where both effect play a role.
