BRAHMS has measured rapidity density distributions of protons and antiprotons in both p+p and Au+Au collisions at 62 GeV and 200 GeV. From these distributions the yields of so-called "net-protons", that is the difference between the proton…

Recent measurements of very low-energy ($p_{L}<100$ MeV/c) $\bar p$ annihilation on light nuclei reveal apparent suppression of annihilation upon increasing the atomic charge $Z$ and mass number $A$. Using $\bar p$-nucleus optical…
We report here experimental evidence of the reflection of a large fraction of a beam of low energy antiprotons by an aluminum wall. This derives from the analysis of a set of annihilations of antiprotons that come to rest in rarefied helium…
We discuss the measured nuclear suppression of p + pbar production in 200 AGeV Au-Au collisions at RHIC within radiative energy loss. For the AKK set of fragmentation functions, proton production is dominated by gluons, giving rise to the…

Transverse momentum spectra of protons and anti-protons measured in the rapidity range 0<y<3.1 from 0-10% central Au+Au collisions at sqrt{s_{NN}}=62.4 GeV are presented. The rapidity densities, dN/dy, of protons, anti-protons and…
Direct photon-hadron correlations are a golden channel to study parton in-medium energy loss in QGP. The modification of the effective fragmentation function for the away-side jet can be measured by comparing integrated away-side yields of…

Transverse momentum spectra and rapidity densities, dN/dy, of protons, anti-protons, and net--protons (p-pbar) from central (0-5%) Au+Au collisions at sqrt(sNN) = 200 GeV were measured with the BRAHMS experiment within the rapidity range 0…
