The nuclear modification factors R_AA and R_CP have been used to measure medium-induced suppression in heavy-ion collisions at sqrts_NN = 200GeV which was among the earliest evidence for the existence of a strongly interacting medium called a quark-gluon plasma (QGP). Nuclear modification factors for asymmetric collisions (R_dA) have measured the Cronin Effect, an enhancement of high transverse momentum particle yields in deuteron-gold collisions relative to proton-proton collisions.

... nhancement is observed in data presented in these proceedings and competes with the quenching caused by partonic energy loss in the QGP. In these proceedings we will present charged-hadron R_CP at mid-rapidity for sqrts_NN = 7.7 - 62.4GeV as well as identified pi^+, K^+, and proton R_CP. Comparisons to HIJING motivate possible methods for disentangling competing modifications to nuclear transverse momentum spectra.
