Identified hadron production at high transverse momenta in p+p collisions at √sNN = 200 GeV in STAR

Description

We report the transverse momentum (pT) distributions for identified charged pions, protons and anti-protons using events triggered by high deposit energy in the Barrel Electro-Magnetic Calorimeter (BEMC) from p+p collisions at √sNN = 200 GeV. The spectra are measured around mid-rapidity (|y| < 0.5) over the range of 3 < pT < 15 GeV/c with particle identification (PID) by the relativistic ionization energy loss (rdE/dx) in the Time Projection Chamber (TPC) of the Solenoidal Tracker at RHIC (STAR). The charged pion, proton and anti-proton spectra at high pT are compared with published results from minimum bias triggered events and the Next-Leading-Order perturbative quantum chromodynamic (NLO pQCD) calculations (DSS, KKP and AKK 2008). In addition, we present the particle ratios of n-/n+, (bar p)/p, p/n+ and (bar p)/π- in p+p collisions.
