New results from the 2010 RHIC low energy program show a substantial suppression of neutral pions in central Au+Au collisions at both sqrt{s_NN}=39 and 62.4 GeV c.m.s. energies. At high pT the 62.4 GeV and 200 GeV data follow the same…

The quark-meson coupling (QMC) model incorporates quark degrees of freedom into the relativistic mean-field (RMF) framework, distinguishing it from traditional quantum hadrodynamics (QHD), which treats nucleons as point-like particles. In…

For Au + Au collisions at 200 GeV we measure neutral pion production with good statistics for transverse momentum, p_T, up to 20 GeV/c. A fivefold suppression is found, which is essentially constant for 5 < p_T < 20 GeV/c. Experimental…
