Abstract

We report on the yield of protons and antiprotons, as a function of centrality and transverse momentum, in [Formula presented] collisions at [Formula presented] measured at midrapidity by the PHENIX experiment at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. In central collisions at intermediate transverse momenta ([Formula presented]) a significant fraction of all produced particles are protons and antiprotons. They show a centrality-scaling behavior different from that of pions. The [Formula presented] and [Formula presented] ratios are enhanced compared to peripheral [Formula presented], [Formula presented], and [Formula presented] collisions. This enhancement is limited to [Formula presented] as deduced from the ratio of charged hadrons to [Formula presented] measured in the range [Formula presented].
