Abstract:
Transverse momentum spectra of , and up to 12 GeV/c at mid-rapidity in centrality selected Au+Au collisions at GeV are presented. In central Au+Au collisions, both and show significant suppression with respect to binary scaling at 4 GeV/c. Protons and anti-protons are less suppressed than , in the range 1.5 6 GeV/c. The and ratios show at most a weak dependence and no significant centrality dependence. The ratios in central Au+Au collisions approach the values in p+p and d+Au collisions at 5 GeV/c. The results at high indicate that the partonic sources of , and have similar energy loss when traversing the nuclear medium.Note:
