Abstract
Baryon stopping at the SPS and RHIC energies is calculated by introduc ing a new baryon junction mechanism into HIJING. The exchange of a bar yon junction, according to Regge phenomenology, leads to a cosh[(y - y (CM))/2] rapidity dependence and all 1/(4)root s energy dependence of the inclusive baryon cross section. This baryon junction dynamics also leads naturally to enhanced p(T) broadening in pA and AA together wit h enhanced mid-rapidity hyperon production.
