Nuclear modification factor for charged pions and protons at forward rapidity in central Au plus Au collisions at 200 GeV

Nuclear modification factor for charged pions and protons at forward rapidity in central Au plus Au collisions at 200 GeV

We present spectra of charged pions and protons in 0–10% central Au + Au collisions at View the MathML sourcesNN=200 GeV at mid-rapidity (y=0y=0) and forward pseudorapidity (η=2.2η=2.2) measured with the BRAHMS experiment at RHIC. The spectra are compared to spectra from p+pp+p collisions at the sam...

Zusammenfassung:We present spectra of charged pions and protons in 0–10% central Au + Au collisions at View the MathML sourcesNN=200 GeV at mid-rapidity (y=0y=0) and forward pseudorapidity (η=2.2η=2.2) measured with the BRAHMS experiment at RHIC. The spectra are compared to spectra from p+pp+p collisions at the same energy scaled by the number of binary collisions. The resulting nuclear modification factors for central Au + Au collisions at both y=0y=0 and η=2.2η=2.2 exhibit suppression for charged pions but not for (anti-) protons at intermediate pTpT. The View the MathML sourcep¯/π− ratios have been measured up to pT∼3 GeV/cpT∼3 GeV/c at the two rapidities and the results indicate that a significant fraction of the charged hadrons produced at intermediate pTpT range are (anti-) protons at both mid-rapidity and η=2.2η=2.2.
