Description
We will review the identified and non-identified particle momentum spectra measured by the PHOBOS experiment at RHIC. These data are not only the sources of a few intriguing discoveries made in our field, but show the remarkable diversity of results coming from an experiment originally designed for low pT and multiplicity measurements.
The very low pT (from 30 MeV/c) identified hadron spectra uniquely measured at PHOBOS are consistent with the expectations of transverse expansion of the colliding system, and no low-pT enhancement of the yields was observed.
Non-identified hadron pT spectra measured in Au+Au and d+Au collisions contributed to the understanding of the origin of high-pT suppression in heavy ion collisions.
We will discuss the above results for various systems and collision centralities, including their important physics implications as well as the experimental challenges PHOBOS faced to be able to obtain them.
