Relevance of baseline hard proton-proton spectra for high-energy nucleus-nucleus physics

Abstract

We discuss three different cases of hard inclusive spectra in proton-proton collisions: high

p_T

single hadron production at

\sqrt{s}\approx

20 GeV and at

\sqrt{s}

= 62.4 GeV, and direct photon production at

\sqrt{s}

= 200 GeV; with regard to their relevance for the search of Quark Gluon Plasma signals in A+A collisions at SPS and RHIC energies.Comment: Proceeds. Hot Quarks 2004 Int. Workshop on the Physics of Ultrarelativistic Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions. 26 pages. 26 figs. [minor corrs., refs. added
