Description
It is important to study the particle production as a function of both
transverse momentum ($p_{T}$) and particle species which provide crucial
input for modeling of hadronic interactions and the hadronization process
in high-energy collisions [1]. In this contribution, we will present the
results on $\pi^{\pm}$, $K^{\pm}$, $p$ and $\bar{p}$
in $p+p$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 62.4 GeV from STAR experiment
at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The results are
obtained for the midrapidity region in the range $\mid{y}\mid < 0.1$.
Charged hadrons are identified by using specific ionization energy loss at the
low momentum region (up to 1.10 GeV/c) with STAR's Time Projection
Chamber detector [2,3]. We will present the final corrected
$p_{T}$ spectra, particle yields and various particle ratios. The results will be
compared with different models namely PYTHIA and PHOJET.
