Abstract
We report results on the ratio of midrapidity antiproton-to-proton yields i n Au + Au collisions at roots(NN) = 130 GeV per nucleon pair as measured by the STAR experiment at RHIC. Within the rapidity and transverse momentum r ange of /y/ < 0.5 and 0.4 < p(i) < 1.0 GeV/c, the ratio is essentially inde pendent of either transverse momentum or rapidity, with an average of 0.65 <plus/minus> 0.01((stat)) +/- 0.07((syst)) for minimum bias collisions. Wit hin errors, no strong centrality dependence is observed. The results indica te that at this RHIC energy, although the p-(p) over bar pair production be comes important at midrapidity, a significant excess of baryons: over antib aryons is still present.
