Overview
2 most significant experimental results at RHIC:
- “High pT p0 suppression”
- “Anomalous” high pT baryon/meson ratio
Identified p0 and p,pbar experimental results at high pT:
- sNN dependence (17 GeV, 31 GeV, 130 GeV, 200 GeV)
- Magnitude and pT dependence of suppression
- Centrality dependence of suppression
- Flavor dependence of suppression
Theoretical descriptions of nuclear & medium effects at high pT:
- Nuclear shadowing. Cronin enhancement.
- Parton energy loss (BDMPS, GLV, HSW).
- Hadronic energy loss.
- Gluon saturation.
- Parton recombination.
