Abstract：
In proton-proton (p+p) collisions at √S=200GeV, it is found that the previously observed universal shape of transverse mass spectra of hadron production seems to break down into two species of baryons and mesons at higher transverse mass region. In order to understand the underlying physics mechanism, a Monte Carlo study is done using the PYTHIA event generator. The simulation results demonstrate that this difference exists not only within string fragmentation scheme but also within independent fragmentation scheme, and comes primarily from gluon jets within string fragmentation scheme at RHIC energy. The new introduced physics mechanisms in PYTHIA version6.3 indicate that the complicated string junction may contribute to this splitting effect between mesons and baryons.
