Abstract

The main goal of PHENIX expirement, located at Relativistic Heavy-ion collider, is the investigation of quark-gluon plasma (QGP). One of the aspects of the QGP study is describing the process of its hadronization. Very important contribution to understanding of hadronization process was given by discovering of anomaly large ratio of protons production to pions production (ρ/π) in Au+Au collisions in comparison to the same ratio in proton-proton collisions. This effect was called baryon puzzle and was explained in a frame of recombination model of hadronization.Although charged hadrons production has been previously studied in elementary proton-proton collisions and symmetric Au+Au collisions, it has never been investigated before in the large asymmetric collisions systems (such as Cu+Au) or the collisions of large deformed nuclei (U+U). The study of such large collisions systems allows to study features of baryon and meson production versus collision geometry and system size.
