Using intermediate transverse momenta measurements as a probe for
investigating hadron production in high energy heavy ion collision at RHIC

We propose here to investigate hadron production mecanisms in high energy
heavy ion collisions as a function of transverse momentum for strange and
non-strange flavors. For this purpose, we use both ring imaging cerenkov and
topology reconstruction in Au+Au collisions at 200GeV per nucleon pair and
recorded with the STAR detector. Measurements such as hadrons yields and
baryon-to-meson ratios as a function of both pT and collision centrality
will be compared to models proposing different hadron production mechanisms
and p+p reference reactions.
