Summary• Strangeness enhancements measured at 40
GeV/c with the same hierarchy as at 160 GeV/c
• Blast wave analysis of transverse and longitudinal spectra:– Centrality dependence of freeze out temperature and
expanding velocity observed at both energies
– < L > < >
• Nuclear modification factor Rcp:– Similar pattern as at RHIC, lower in magnitude– Interpretation: initial state effect (PDF) versus final state
effect (parton energy loss,recombination) systematic theoretical study required

• In the acceptance window:– Yield
(i.e. particle per event)
– Transverse mass spectra (Tapp)
• Extrapolation to a common window:– one unit of rapidity about ycm
