Abstract
We propose a model of suppression of 's based on two different effects: at low we take into account the shadowing corrections, which are non-linear and essential for the description of the inclusive spectra, while at large the suppression is produced through the interaction of the large pion with the dense medium created in the collision. The main features of the data on and collisions at RHIC energies are reproduced both at mid and at forward rapidities.
