Dear Flemming, I read last pdf version that Jens Jorgen posted on Thursday/Friday. I think it give a very good "first draft of history" of our data and will be very useful for students and non-specialists. My only complaint is that thed CGC is a LOW pt suppression not a high Pt one. (I also missed the k/pi section and will go over that today.) Regarding Tom Kirks questions, the s(QGP) is a scheme that has been developed in the last year or so to describe the great data from RHIC. Thus it is very difficult to give an answer to Kirks first question. Galeleo said that we should try to disprove what we want to beleive but I am not smart enough to think of a null test for the sQGP. For the second question I would love to have some predictions about what should happen in the lepton sector. Is chiral symmetry restored in the sQGP? What should happen to the masses of the mesons? Finally what are the predictions for the light ion run? Michael Since you are not proclaming the observation of QGP - why is the hot dense system observed not the s(QGP) ? - what would it require to say it has been observed and charecterized. the present white paper certainly ducks such questions, and state that a dense system with un-expected behaviour has been observed. flemming ---------------------------------------------------------------- Flemming Videbaek Physics Department Brookhaven National Laboratory e-mail: videbaek@bnl.gov phone: 631-344-4106 _______________________________________________ Brahms-l mailing list Brahms-l@lists.bnl.gov http://lists.bnl.gov/mailman/listinfo/brahms-lReceived on Sat Jun 12 08:08:55 2004
