Comparison of AuAu & CuCu pbar/p- ratios are similar for different collision systems, and for a comparable number of binary collisions at y~0 and h~3.2 August 4-9, Quark Matter 2005

p/p ratios in CuCu collisions + + - - Centrality dependence for p/p+ ratios is stronger at h~3.2 than y~0, but pbar/p- shows only slight centrality dependence at both rapidities. August 4-9, Quark Matter 2005

3D-Hydro Model for AuAu BRAHMS Preliminary PHENIX : PRC69,034909(2004) - p/p+ enhanced at forward rapidity, mainly from projectile? - Still high - Cronin, recombination, or flow? - The hydro calculation shown does not consider baryon nor isospin chemical potentials: There is no rapidity dependence. - Particle ratio is fixed at chemical freezeout temperature August 4-9, Quark Matter 2005

Summary BRAHMS has studied the pT/centrality/rapidity/system dependence of the p/p ratios for AuAu, CuCu and pp - p/p ratios are enhanced in AA collisions compared to pp - No other system dependence is observed - p/p+ and pbar/p- ratios show similar interplay between soft and hard processes for different systems - However, there is strong rapidity dependence (baryo-chemical potential?)
