Abstract: (arXiv)
We report transverse momentum ( GeV/) spectra of , , , , , and at mid-rapidity in p+p and Au+Au collisions at = 200 GeV. Perturbative QCD calculations are consistent with spectra in p+p collisions but do not reproduce and spectra. The observed decreasing antiparticle-to-particle ratios with increasing provide experimental evidence for varying quark and gluon jet contributions to high- hadron yields. The relative hadron abundances in Au+Au at GeV/ are measured to be similar to the p+p results, despite the expected Casimir effect for parton energy loss.Note:
