    I would guess it is now on the list server.

    | Dear Friends:
    |
    | PHENIX intends to submit a comprehensive paper on our Run-1 identified
    | particle spectra in one week. Please find the title and abstract below.
    | The results have been presented many times at various conferences.
    |
    | Best regards,
    |
    | Bill

    | Single Identified Hadron Spectra from $\sqrt{s_{NN}}= 130$ GeV Au+Au
    | Collisions at RHIC
    |
    | Transverse momentum spectra and yields of hadrons are measured by the
    | PHENIX collaboration in Au + Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 130$ GeV
    | at RHIC. The time-of-flight resolution allows identification of pions
    | to transverse momenta of 2 GeV/c and protons  and antiprotons to 4
    | GeV/c.  The yield of pions rises approximately linearly with the
    | number of nucleons participating in the collision, while the number of
    | kaons, protons, and antiprotons increases more rapidly.  The shape of
    | the momentum distribution changes between peripheral and central
    | collisions.  Simultaneous analysis of all the $p_T$ spectra indicates
    | radial collective expansion, consistent with
    | predictions of hydrodynamic models.  Hydrodynamic analysis of the
    | spectra shows that the expansion velocity increases with collision
    | centrality and collision energy.  This expansion boosts the particle
    | momenta, causing the yield from soft processes to exceed that for
    | hard to large transverse momentum, perhaps as large as 3 GeV/c.
