  4. Suppression as a Probe of QGP Introduction WhyLow Mass Vector mesons? Hadron Production will be suppressed due to the jet quenching occurred in the heavy-ion collisions as an effect of the matter The inclusive pi0 production in Au+Au QGP Nuclear Modification Function In the absence of nuclear effects: RAA=1 PRL 91. 072301 (2003)

  22. Another Energy Correction Correct Measured Energy Value to True Energy Value (Assumed as E1E2 has a true value) If energy is measured within the energy resolution band (yellow and red band), shrink it to E1E2 curve. Minimize Χ2 value= ((E1-E1(measured))/σE1)2 + ((E2-E2(measured))/σE2)2 where E1*E2 = m(pi0PDG)/2(1-cos) Energy reso. corrected uncorrected Can correct also pT!
