Transverse momentum dependence of eta meson suppression in Au plus Au collisions at root s(NN)=200 GeV

Abstract

New measurements by the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider for η production at midrapidity as a function of transverse momentum (pT) and collision centrality in √sNN=200 GeV Au+Au and p+p collisions are presented. The results of the data analysis are presented and discussed.
