In this paper is investigated the influence of net baryon density on baryon 4 and meson yields in relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions, based on the recombination 1 model for hadronization. Unitarity condition is used as a constraint on the model. Three cases with different assumptions on the expansion of partonic system are ] h considered and the baryon to meson ratio is calculated for those situations. t - l c u PACS numbers: 25.75.Dw,13.66.Bc n [ 1 v 3 0 8 1 . 8 0 7 0 : v i X r a § To whom correspondence should be addressed (cbyang@mail.ccnu.edu.cn) 2 1. Introduction Partons, both soft and hard, are produced in high energy nucleus-nucleus collisions. Because of color confinement colored objects (quarks and gluons) must convert to some hadrons which can be detected experimentally. The problem we concern in this paper is how those partons convert into the observed final state hadrons and the relation of hadron yield with the parton density. On the topics of hadron production, there are two widely used traditional models: the string model for soft hadron production and the Feynman and Field’s independent fragmentation model for hard hadron production. The string model worked well for elementary collisions, such as e+ e− annihilations, where strings can be formed am
