Hi Brahms,

    please find the abstract I intend to submit to the
Lake Louis Winter Conference in Canada.

  High-pt supression in heavy ion collisions at RHIC.


 In central nucleus-nucleus collisions, deviations from binary scaling at high-pt
 reveal themselves as a supression in the transverse momentum distribution of 
produced particles as measured by the nuclear modification factor Rcp, the ratio of
central to peripheral data scaled by the number of binary collisions. The system 
size dependence of Rcp may help disentangle the interplay of initial (gluon saturation)
 and final state (quark energy loss) effects which are thought to modify  the scaling 
behavior of the high-pt supression. Here we present results on the nuclear 
modification factor from the BRAHMS experiment comparing results from AuAu,
 CuCu and dAu collisions.

please send suggestion and comments.

Thanks,

Selemon,
