Studying Intermediate pT at RHIC with Fluctuations RHIC experiments have seen a striking difference in behaviour for baryons vs. mesons at intermediate pT. These could be explained by collective production mechanisms like recombination or coalescence. It is however not clear whether such models are consistent with the observation of strong jet-like near-side correlations in the same pT range. I investigate possibilities to discriminate between different production mechanisms by analyzing number fluctuations at this pT.
