Hadron Spectra at Mid and Forward Rapidities

COFFEE_KLATCH · Invited

Abstract

BRAHMS has measured transverse momentum spectra for identified charged hadron in the (pion) rapidity range 0$<$y$<$4 for p+p, d+Au, Cu+Cu, and Au+Au collisions at 200GeV, as well at 62.4 GeV for the two heavy symmetric systems. Such results give information on both the longitudinal and transverse dynamics of the emitting source. The foci of this talk will be nuclear stopping as a function of beam energy as measured via net-proton distributions and the rapidity behavior of transverse flow via the ``blast-wave'' formalism.
