Summary
High pT η measured in the range pT» 2—12 GeV/c in p+p, d+Au, and Au+Au collisions at √s = 200 GeV.
p+p:
- η/πo ~0.48 consistent with 0.46 “world ratio” in hadronic colls.
- “mT scaling” hypothesis not exact for eta's below ~2 GeV/c
d+Au:
- No (or small) “Cronin effect” (RdA~1 for all centralities within uncertainties).
Au+Au:
- - Factor x5 suppression in central (0-20%) colls.
- Same suppression pattern for η and π0:
magnitude, pT and centrality dependence.
- - Agreement w/ parton energy loss calculations up to highest pT
- η/πo consistent w/ 0.46 “world ratio”: PID universality of FF preserved in QCD medium.
