Transverse momentum spectra for charged hadrons and neutral pions in the range 1 GeV/c<p(T)<5 GeV/c have been measured by PHENIX experiment at RHIC Au+Au collisions root square[s(NN)] = 130 GeV. At high p(T) from peripheral nuclear are consistent with scaling p+p average number of binary nucleon-nucleon collisions. The central significantly suppressed when compared to binary-scaled expectation, also similarly collisions, indicating a novel nuclear-medium effect energies.

For Au + collisions at 200 GeV, we measure neutral pion production with good statistics for transverse momentum, pT, up to 20 GeV/c. A fivefold suppression is found, which essentially constant 5 < pT Experimental uncertainties are small enough constrain any model-dependent parametrization the transport coefficient of medium, e.g., q in parton quenching model. The spectral shape similar all collision classes, and does not saturate collisions.
