• J/Y Suppression

  • Screening in the quark-gluon plasma would suppress J/Y yields, as would interactions with semi-hard gluons.
  • Measuring the ratio of J/Y to open charm adresses this issue

• Other

  • Multi-strange baryons: Yields of multi-strange baryons are greatly enhanced, and pT spectra are softer than expectations based on thermal production. These are likely signals from the very early stages of the collision.
  • Improve the mass resolution of dimuons and di-electrons leads to the possibility of Upsilon spectroscopy
  • Verifying tracks close to the interaction point will reduce backgrounds in high-pT spectra.
  • Verifying m-pair tracks close to the interaction point will reduce background from p and K decays.
