Abstract
I discuss a new mechanism of baryon stopping based on diquark breaking . I show that this component, which leads to baryon production near mi d-rapidities, increases with A and with centrality faster than the ine lastic cross-section. The consequences of this novel mechanism for str ange baryon enhancement are discussed.
