Vogt nucl-th/0507027 • Consistent with nuclear absorption + shadowing (sabs ~ 3.0 mb) for centrality > 10% but Beyond the suppressionfor centrality 0-10% • sabs ~ 3.0 mb seems to be high in d+Au data. • sabs ~ 1.0 mb describes better d+Au results. • Comover, direct dissociation and suppression in QGP over-predict the suppression Comover scattering Capella et.al. hep-ph/0505032 Direct dissociation Grandchamp et.al. hep-ph/0306077 Suppression in QGP Kostyuk et.al. hep-ph/0305277

Thews et. al. nucl-th/0505055 Invariant pT distribution • Extraction of<pT2>by fittingwithp0(1+(pT/p1)2)-6 • Key to understand the recombination of J/y. • No clear centrality dependence. • Indication of recombination? • Need to understand with rapidity • dependence, charm production (pT etc).
11 Summary and Outlook • Analyzed 760 M events (MB) of Au+Au collisions. • Extracted Invariant yield per binary collisions • Factor 3 suppression for most central collisions. • RAA was compared to theoretical models. • Consistent with normal nuclear absorption (sabs ~3.0) for >10% central • Suppression beyond nuclear absorption for 0-10% central. • Comover and QGP suppression over-predict the suppression. • Suppression + Recombination model matches better compared to the models with suppression-only. • Extracted J/y pT distribution. • No clear centrality dependence . Recombination? • Need to understand our data with: • d+Au results (but more statistic needed!) • Rapidity dependence (Muon arm), Nuclear dependence (Cu+Cu) • Charm production [thermalization, pT, rapidity] (single e, single m)

14 Correction factors -- run-by-run efficiency • From Electron QA • Fluctuation of <(Ne/Nevt)Eastx(Ne/Nevt)West> • Relative to G9 • RMS is assigned to systematic error. • Run-by-Run efficiency : 0.968 +- 0.001 (stat) +- 0.040(sys) [pro.59] 1.002 +- 0.004 (stat) +- 0.016(sys) [pro.66]
