Abstract
The common interpretation of in heavy ion collisions is that it is produced by hydrodynamic flow at low transverse momentum and by parton energy loss at high transverse momentum. In this talk we discuss this interpretation in view of the dependence of with energy, rapidity and system size, and show that it might not be trivial to reconcile these models with the relatively simple scaling found in experiment
