Hi All, Although I am not a member of the paper committee for this paper, I thought I would try to start the discussion anyway. Here are my preliminary comments: Introduction: We almost state that we have seen QGP and Bjorken plateau. Do we want to word this so strongly? In particular, we mention the (lack of) net baryons, but refer to the other experiments. This is rather unfortunate as we have much better data than any of them. We mention in the last sentence a "deconfined partonic state" can partons be deconfined? I guess this is a matter of semantics, but it sounds odd to me. In the second paragraph, we say "...predicted to experience attenuation and energy loss as the traverse a dense HADRONIC medium..." I guess the whole point is that the suppresion we see can't be from a hadronic medium. Also, remove attenuation. We mention the forward eta several times. IIRC, we cover eta=2 to eta=2.2 with these data. should we refer to this as eta~2.1 consistently throughout? We say there is no "apparent" suppression in d+Au. This is quite an understatement since there is an enhancement at high-pt for d+Au. In the Experimental paragraph, we should either remove stuff about our PID, or use our PID (alternatively, we could say that we do ID particles, but to obtain sufficient statistics, we need to look at all hadrons). I realize that these are fairly trivial comments, but I suppose it is at least a start! Good job so far, Claus. cheers, Ian On søndag, jun 22, 2003, at 15:46 Europe/Copenhagen, Claus O. E.
