We present STAR measurements of charged hadron production as a function of centrality in
Au+Au
collisions at
sqrt[sNN]=130 GeV
. The measurements cover a phase space region of
0.2<pT<6.0 GeV∕c
in transverse momentum and
−1<η<1
in pseudorapidity. Inclusive transverse momentum distributions of charged hadrons in the pseudorapidity region
0.5<∣η∣<1
are reported and compared to our previously published results for
∣η∣<0.5
. No significant difference is seen for inclusive
pT
distributions of charged hadrons in these two pseudorapidity bins. We measured
dN∕dη
distributions and truncated mean
pT
in a region of
pT>pTcut
, and studied the results in the framework of participant and binary scaling. No clear evidence is observed for participant scaling of charged hadron yield in the measured
pT
region. The relative importance of hard scattering processes is investigated through binary scaling fraction of particle production.
