High-pT π0 suppression in Au+Au collisions at √SNN = 200 GeV
Creators
Description
Neutral pions with pT = 1-8 GeV/c have been measured for 9 centrality classes in Ai+Au collisions at √SNN = 200 GeV by the PHENIX experiment at RHIC. The π0 multiplicity in central reactions is significantly below the binary collision scaled yields from both peripheral Au+Au and pp reactions. The observed suppression sets in for the 50-70% centrality class and increases with pT and centrality. For the most central bin, the deficit amounts to a factor ∼2.5 at pT ∼2 GeV/c gradually increasing to a factor ∼6 at pT ∼8 GeV/c
