present:
Steve, Kris, JH, Chellis, Pawel.

No presentations, a few updates and discussion:

- cucu paper Selemon
   -- how well do we understand Npart, Nbin vs. centrality. It is  
surprising the RAA is not >=1 at 50-80%.
   -- look into what systematic error accounting for the loss of  
80-100% cross section means.
  -- some concern on e.g. pion RAA at high y; scatter in points more  
than stat error indicates.
  -- compare to phenix pi0 (22,62 and 200 gev) dependence i.e. the  
only published cucu at this point.

v2(pt) Steve is writing up material and figures for PRL. May have this  
by next week. Data are finalized, major issue may
be evaluating systematic errors.

k/pi - expect Ionut to distribute a first response referee, and  
changes to manus soon.

pp paper. Have gotten feedback from Vogelsang on pQCD; latest 200 geV  
calc had a problem. Seems to be fixed.
The 200 gev pions dn/dy issue not resolved. Still looks high compared  
to UA5!.

The d/p paper (Caspar, Michael) needs some serious reading. Will need  
readers for comments. Chellis has started.
Ian has been asked to read also. We should try to have a next  
iteration in ~ 2 weeks
