24 -24- Edmundo Garcia, UIC Multiplicity Increase in the slope of dn/d  as a function of the energy when compared to ppbar dn/d  increase with energy from 130 to 200 GeV is modest and concentrated at mid-rapidity Other measurements: Elliptic flow: Strong and  -dependent K - /K + ratio does not follow linear extrapolation from lower energy Antiproton/proton ratio increasing towards unity (approaching a baryon-free regime) Centrality dependence of dN/d . No conclusive/clear signal of QGP (so far), it seems that any finding will take a systematic scan of all QGP probes at RHIC energies Summary
