Systematics of Identified Hadron Spectra at PHENIX

Abstract

Mid-rapidity transverse momentum distributions for ${\pi }^{\pm }$, $K^{\pm }$, p and $\pbar$ are measured by the PHENIX experiment at RHIC in Au+Au, d+Au and p+p collisions at \ssnn=200GeV up to ~2--4GeV. Also particle ratios of ${\pi }^{-}/{\pi }^{+}$, $K^{-}/K^{+}$, $\pbar/p$, $p/\pi$ and $\pbar/π$ are measured, as well as the nuclear modification factor, all as a function of \pt and in every of the above collision systems. Finally, the measured p+p and Au+Au spectra are compared to the Buda-Lund hydro model.
