At RHIC, a suppression, $R_{AA}\approx 0.2$ relative to binary-scaling, for $\pi^0$ with $5\leq p_T\leq 20$ GeV/c was discovered in central Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV, and surprisingly also for single-electrons from the…
A new scenario, alternative to energy loss, for the observed suppression of high-pT hadrons observed at RHIC is proposed. In the limit of a very dense medium crated in nuclear collisions the mean free-path of the produced (pre)hadron…
