We propose a model of suppression of $\pi^0$'s based on two different effects: at low $p_T$ we take into account the shadowing corrections, while at large $p_T$ the suppression is produced due to the interaction of the large $p_T$ pion with…
We present measured J/psi production rates in d+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV over a broad range of transverse momentum (p_T=0-14 GeV/c) and rapidity (-2.2<y<2.2). We construct the nuclear-modification factor R_dAu for these…
