I. Abelev et al.<br/>The results of midrapidity (0<y<0.8) neutral pion spectra over an extended transverse momentum range (1<p_{T} <12 GeV/c) in sqrt[s_{NN} ] =200 GeV Au+Au collisions, measured by the STAR experiment, are presented. The neutral pions are reconstructed from photons measured either by the STAR Barrel Electro-Magnetic Calorimeter or by the Time Projection Chamber via tracking of conversion electron-positron pairs. Our measurements are compared to previously published π^{±} and π^{0} results. The nuclear modification factors R_{CP} and R_{AA} of π^{0} are also presented as a function of p_{T} . In the most central Au+Au collisions, the binary collision scaled π^{0} yield at high p_{T} is suppressed by a factor of about 5 compared to the expectation from the yield of p+p collisions. Such a large suppression is in agreement with previous observations for light quark mesons and is consistent with the scenario that partons suffer considerable energy loss in the dense medium formed in central nucleus-nucleus collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider.<br/>[Phys.

Afanasiev et al. PHENIX Collaboration<br/>We present inclusive charged hadron elliptic flow (v_{2} ) measured over the pseudorapidity range |η|<0.35 in Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN} ] =200 GeV. Results for v_{2} are presented over a broad range of transverse momentum (p_{T} =0.2-8.0 GeV/c) and centrality (0–60%). To study nonflow effects that are correlations other than collective flow, as well as the fluctuations of v_{2} , we compare two different analysis methods: (1) the event-plane method from two independent subdetectors at forward (|η|=3.1-3.9) and beam (|η|>6.5) pseudorapidities and (2) the two-particle cumulant method extracted using correlations between particles detected at midrapidity. The two event-plane results are consistent within systematic un...<br/>[Phys. Rev. C 80, 024909] Published Mon Aug 31, 2009 S. Afanasiev et al.
