Cracow Epiphany Conference, Pawel Staszel, Niels Bohr Institute 21 N(pbar)/N(p) @ 130 AGeV Centrality and P t dependence Antiproton absorbtion correction to p-bar/p ratio: 5 % for FS at 4 deg, 2 % for MRS at 90 and 40 deg. Proton production (? and Be – tube): 10% and 6% (low P t bin) for MRS at 90 and 40 deg., respectively. Hyperon decays: p-bar/p anti-hyperon/hiperon then weak-decay would not affect p-bar/p ratio. Fritiof 7.02 + GEANT systematic correction is < 5%. Model dependent not aplied to data.

Pair, p-bar/p vs y shows increase but still incomplete transparency p-bar/p 0.64, 0.66, 0.41 at y=0, 0.7, 2, respectively Weak P t and centrality dependence, Models inconsistent with data dN/d ( =0) = 625, dNch/d ( =0) 3.7 pr. part. pair, N ch (0-5%) = 4630, FWHN 7.5, Nch/0.5Npart 28, p-bar/p vs y shows increase but still incomplete transparency p-bar/p higher at mid- and central rapidity. RESULTS: 65+65 RESULTS: 100+100 Large energy density > 5 crit Decoupling of central and ' fragmentation ' regions = Partonic (color) description appears necessary = Central region dominated by matter-antimatter balance: Qualitatively new physics regime To come: particle spectra, Strangeness, net baryon density, jet quenching,...
