Production and Flow of Identified Hadrons at RHIC

Abstract

We review the production and flow of identified hadrons at RHIC with a main emphasis on the intermediate transverse momentum region ($2<p_T<5$ GeV/$c$). The goal is to unravel the dynamics of baryon production and resolve the anomalously large baryon yields and elliptic flow observed in the experiments.
