Abstract
Inclusive transverse momentum spectra of η mesons have been measured within pT=2–10 GeV/c at midrapidity by the PHENIX experiment in Au+Au collisions at VsNN=200 GeV. In central Au+Au the η yields are significantly suppressed compared to peripheral Au+Au, d+Au, and p+p yields scaled by the corresponding number of nucleon-nucleon collisions.
