FSI hadronic reinteractions model vs. data
Caveat: Very dense hadronic medium scenarios should result in partonic scenarios by definition.
-
Magnitude of Au+Au suppression dense hadronic medium:
- High opacities: <n> = L/≈ 2
-
-
- pT dependence of Au+Au suppression apparently described but with counter-intuitive arguments (due to the assumed formation time ansatz).
- Possible "control” calculations (not observed in data but expected in hadronic medium description): charm meson energy loss, suppressed near-side jet correlation, ...
Estimates are only “semiquantitative”.
More realistic model calculations (badly) needed !
