Physical Review Letters – 15 August 2003
Volume 91, Issue 7

Latest results of the PHENIX, PHOBOS, BRAHMS & STAR Collaborations from 200-GeV per nucleon gold-gold and deuteron-gold nuclear collisions. In the Au-Au data, high-transverse-momentum particles are suppressed (red data in PHOBOS & BRAHMS) and there is only one peak in the pair-correlation plot (STAR); both results are as expected if a quark-gluon plasma forms. A QGP is not expected in d-Au collisions and this data show no high-pT suppression (PHENIX) and two peaks. [B. B. Back et al. PHOBOS Collaboration, Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 072302 (2003)]
