Abstract:
A new version, v2.0, of the HIJING/B\=B Monte Carlo nuclear collision event generator is introduced in order to explore further the possible role of baryon junctions loops in the baryon/meson anomaly (2 <pT<< p_{T} < 5 GeV/c) observed in 200A GeV Au+Au reactions at RHIC. We show that junction loops with an enhanced intrinsic kT1k_T\approx 1 GeV/c transverse momentum kick may provide a partial explanation of the anomaly as well as other important baryon stopping observables.
