3 Conor Henderson, MIT APS April 2001 Why Measure Antiparticle/Particle Ratios? Microscopic viewpoint: –Antiproton/proton ratio determined by: Baryon stopping; Pair production; Absorption in nuclear medium Thermodynamic viewpoint: –Particle ratios can be used to estimate hadro-chemical potentials

4 Conor Henderson, MIT APS April 2001 The PHOBOS Detector Ring Counters Paddle Trigger Counter Spectrometer TOF Octagon+Vertex Au+Au collisions 68,359 events 12% most central

5 Conor Henderson, MIT APS April 2001 The PHOBOS Spectrometer One arm with 16 layers of Si sensors Outer layers situated in 2T magnetic field Coverage near mid- rapidity

6 Conor Henderson, MIT APS April 2001 B-field inverted to obtain antiparticle/particle ratios: e.g. Antiparticles for B+/ Particles for B- Particle Tracking In Spectrometer x 10 cm 1 2 ByBy 1.Road-following algorithm finds straight tracks in field- free region 2.Curved tracks in B-field found by clusters in (1/p,  ) space 3.Match pieces by , consistency in dE/dx and fit in yz-plane z

7 Conor Henderson, MIT APS April 2001 Particle Identification dE/dx in Si sensors depends only on velocity dE/dx vs. p therefore allows identification of particle Ratios stable w.r.t. cut variation

8 Conor Henderson, MIT APS April 2001 Corrections to the Raw Numbers Secondary particles (+2%) – Little material between interaction point and sensitive volume Antiproton absorption in detector (+8%) –From GEANT simulations Feed-down from weak decays (-2%) –Reduced by tracking within 10cm of vertex –Further limit by distance-of-closest-approach cut on tracks

9 Conor Henderson, MIT APS April 2001 The Results No strong p t dependence observed For p t < ~1 GeV, near mid-rapidity: (Submitted to PRL; preprint hep-ex/0104032)

10 Conor Henderson, MIT APS April 2001 Comparison To Lower Energies and Models K - /K + and pbar/p significantly higher than at AGS or SPS HIJING over-predicts our data, RQMD under-predicts it.

11 Conor Henderson, MIT APS April 2001 Estimation Of Baryo-chemical Potential Statistical model of Redlich et al. (QM ’01) Assume freeze-out temperature 160–170 MeV Obtain  B = 45  5 MeV SPS,  B = 240-270 MeV

12 Conor Henderson, MIT APS April 2001 Summary Antiparticle/particle ratios measured near mid-rapidity by PHOBOS silicon spectrometer K - /K + and pbar/p higher than at AGS or SPS  B =45 MeV is lower

13 Conor Henderson, MIT APS April 2001 Spectrometer Acceptance Averaged over vertex range and azimuthal angle
