I am definiately overpredicting data at lower pt
SPECTRA CHALLENGE cont’d After properly initiliazing RICH I’m going down at low pt’s
Comparison with Ramiro’s spectra (pp 200GeV/c) This is very similar to this plot - suggests problems with acceptance maps (I generate my own different acc.maps) … -> but recently I was furiously cleaning my directory and deleted (without cvs’ing) my acceptance maps generator. I have old version but it’s not compiling… yet
Comparison with Ramiro’s spectra (pp 200GeV/c) But anyways, the comparison with Ramiro’s spectra is relatively good – at least for pions

R AA versus dN/d and energy density
conclusions Basicly no rapidity depedence of Raa (just like in QM05) Strong centrality dependence of Raa for all particles, stronger than that seen at midrapidity (just like in QM05) Although models predict Raa raising at forward rapidities no such behavoiur is seen in my data, BUT pt region is not enough to make very strong conclusions As to data consistency - I am overpredicting spectra at lower pt's
