Abstract

With the experimental data from STAR on the multiplicity dependence of the transverse momentum spectra of charged particles in pp collisions at , we investigate the scaling property of the spectra in those collisions. Using the scaling functions of pion and proton obtained in studying spectra in Au + Au and d + Au collisions, we describe the charged particle pT spectra in pp collisions as a superposition of those from pion and proton. Species contents are obtained and p/π ratio is given as a function of pT for events with some given charged multiplicities.
