Pawan Kumar Netrakanti QGP-MEET 2006, VECC, February Highlight and Summary NLO pQCD describes the p+pbar spectrum for the first time in p+p collisions These results show the importance of the significant improvement of FF for baryons from the light-flavor separated measurements in e + e - collisions (OPAL) The observed x T scaling of ,p(pbar) at high pT also show dominance of hard processes related to PDF and FF Provide solid reference for effects of jet quenching and recombination in Nucleus-Nucleus collisions Details of these results can be found at: arXive: nucl-ex/
