Abstract
The main experimental results obtained by the BRAHMS experiment at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) for Au+Au collisions at \(\sqrt {s_{NN} } \) =62.4, 200 GeV and d+Au collisions at \(\sqrt {s_{NN} } \) = 200GeV are presented. The m T spectra and the Gaussian-like rapidity densities of produced pions and kaons in Au+Au central collisions at \(\sqrt {s_{NN} } \) = 200 are GeV shown, and their rapidity densities are compared with results from models. The net-proton yield in the same system is compared with that from AGS and SPS energies to study the high energy collision scenario-transparency and stopping. The rapidity, energy and centrality dependence of the nuclear modification factors in both systems are compared with models to differentiate between the initial and final state effect.
