Stopping and Baryon Transport in Heavy Ion Reactions
In this report I will give an experimental overview on nuclear stopping in
hadron collisions, and relate observations to understanding of baryon
transport. Baryon number transport is not only evidenced via net-proton
distributions but also by the enhancement of strange baryons near mid-rapidity.
Although the focus is on high-energy data obtained from pp and heavy ions from
RHIC, relevant data from SPS and ISR will be considered. A discussion how the
available data at higher energy relates and gives information on baryon
junction, quark-diquark breaking will be made.Comment: 8 pages, 7 figures. Invited plenary talk for the 5'th international
