6 Conor Henderson, MIT Division of Nuclear Physics, Chicago, 2004 R AA for Au+Au at  s NN = 62.4 GeV R AA significantly higher at 62.4 GeV than at 200 GeV

9 Conor Henderson, MIT Division of Nuclear Physics, Chicago, 2004 Factorization of Energy and Centrality Dependence Centrality dependence of vs. p T is the same at both energies Challenge to collision models to reproduce this

10 Conor Henderson, MIT Division of Nuclear Physics, Chicago, 2004 Factorization for Particle Multiplicity PHOBOS, Phys. Rev. C70, 021902(R) (2004) Factorization also seen for mid-rapidity multiplicity, from 19.6 to 200 GeV

12 Conor Henderson, MIT Division of Nuclear Physics, Chicago, 2004 Conclusions PHOBOS has measured h  p T spectra up to 4 GeV in Au+Au collisions at  s NN = 62.4 GeV R AA significantly higher at 62.4 GeV than at 200 GeV But the centrality dependence of the p T yields found to be remarkably similar at the two energies - this factorization also seen in mid-rapidity particle yields from 19.6 to 200 GeV Appears to be a key feature of heavy-ion collisions which remains to be understood
