Pion, Kaon, and (Anti-) Proton Production in Au+Au Collisions at \srt = 62.4 GeV

Abstract

We report on preliminary results of pion, kaon, and (anti-) proton transverse momentum spectra (-0.5 < y < 0) in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{{}_{NN}}}=62.4$ GeV using the STAR detector at RHIC. The particle identification (PID) is achieved by a combination of the STAR TPC and the new TOF detectors, which allow a PID coverage in transverse momentum ($p_T$) up to 7 GeV/c for pions, 3 GeV/c for kaons, and 5 GeV/c for (anti-) protons.
