✦ Synopsis

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