Hello. I do not understan this. The pp (h-) reference spectra dicreased from that of (h+ + h-)/2 . AuAu spectra increased. The final Raa must increase. Unless I misunderstood Raa, it cannot be same!!! Rcp can can stayed the same only if increase in AuAu spectra at two different centralities are exactly the same fraction (30%???). However, Rcp alone cannot tell us anything about suppression. Only Raa does. If Raa is changed drasticly from what it has been shown in the paper (I think it should from what I heard), the conclusion might also change. (For example, Raa becomes close to 1 at eta =2.2) I hope Claus can clarify this. Hiro > should probably be checked on Monday. > As for comments 1 and 2, I think you answered your own question.
