抄録
Transverse momentum spectra of neutral pions in the range 1 < pT < 10 GeV/c have been measured at midrapidity by the PHENIX experiment at BNL RHIC in Au + Au collisions at √sNN = 200 GeV. The π0 multiplicity in central reactions is significantly below the yields measured at the same √sNN in peripheral Au + Au and p + p reactions scaled by the number of nucleon-nucleon collisions. For the most central bin, the suppression factor is ∼2.5 at pT = 2 GeV/c and increases to ∼4–5 at pT ≈ 4 GeV/c. At larger pT, the suppression remains constant within errors. The deficit is already apparent in semiperipheral reactions and increases smoothly with centrality.
