The momentum or transverse momentum spectra of antiprotons produced at mid-rapidity in proton-helium ($p$+He), gold-gold (Au+Au), deuton-gold ($d$+Au), and lead-lead (Pb+Pb) collisions over an energy range from a few GeV to a few TeV are analyzed by the Erlang distribution, the inverse power-law (the Hagedorn function), and the blast-wave fit, or the superposition of two-component step function. The excitation functions of parameters such as the mean transverse momentum, initial state temperature, kinetic freeze-out temperature, and transverse flow velocity increase (slightly) from a few GeV to a few TeV and from peripheral to central collisions. At high energy and in central collisions, large collision energy is deposited in the system, which results in high degrees of excitation and expansion.
