Measurements of invariant p spectra for pions and kaons in the 5% most central Au–Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200$ GeV, over a broad rapidity range −0.1 < y < 3.5. The paper quotes several derived quantities, like total dN/dy and p, which can be fitted from the spectra produced in this analysis.
