Title: Nuclear Stopping in Au+Au Collisions at sqrt(sNN) = 200 GeV
Authors: BRAHMS Collaboration
Comments: 5 pages, 4 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev. Lett
\\
  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 < y < 3. The proton and anti-proton dN/dy decrease from
mid-rapidity to y=3. The net-proton yield is roughly constant for y<1 at
dN/dy~7, and increases to dN/dy~12 at y~3. The data show that collisions at
this energy exhibit a high degree of transparency and that the linear scaling
of rapidity loss with rapidity observed at lower energies is broken. The energy
loss per participant nucleon is estimated to be 72 +- 6 GeV.
