Au on Au collisions at the BNL/AGS (11.6 GeV-A/c) are expected to produce a short-lived state of matter at high baryon density. If the baryons reach sufficiently high density, they may produce a quark-gluon plasma (QGP). The signals from a QGP phase may be difficult to distinguish from those of ordinary hadronic matter. The authors have constructed a relativistic cascade (ARC) for hadrons in an attempt to model the dynamics of ordinary hadronic matter in a heavy ion collision, in the hopes that deviations from the cascade results may indicate new physics. In this contribution the authors discuss the formation of high baryon density matter, and its effect on antiproton production.
