Abstract: (Springer)
Invariant yields of neutral pions at midrapidity in the transverse momentum range 0.6 < p_\mathrm{T}< 12\,{\mathrm \mathrm{GeV}}/ c measured in Pb–Pb collisions at are presented for six centrality classes. The pp reference spectrum was measured in the range c at the same center-of-mass energy. The nuclear modification factor, , shows a suppression of neutral pions in central Pb–Pb collisions by a factor of up to about for 5 \lesssim p_\mathrm{T}\lesssim 7\,{\mathrm \mathrm{GeV}}/ c. The presented measurements are compared with results at lower center-of-mass energies and with theoretical calculations.Note:
