  We report on the yield of protons and anti-protons, as a function of
centrality and transverse momentum, in Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV
measured at mid-rapidity by the PHENIX experiment at RHIC. In central
collisions at intermediate transverse momenta (1.5 < p_T < 4.5 GeV/c) a
significant fraction of all produced particles are protons and anti-protons.
They show a centrality-scaling behavior different from that of pions. The
p-bar/pion and p/pion ratios are enhanced compared to peripheral Au+Au, p+p,
and electron+positron collisions. This enhancement is limited to p_T < 5 GeV/c
as deduced from the ratio of charged hadrons to pi^0 measured in the range 1.5
< p_T < 9 GeV/c.
