What hard scattering data at RHIC
tell us(*) about the properties of the
underlying QCD matter ...
Summary of possible physical scenarios:
- 1. Dense final-state partonic medium: Parton energy loss +
2. Dense initial-state partonic medium: Gluon saturation.
3. Dense final-state hadronic medium: hadronic energy loss.
