Azimuthally sensitive π HBT HBT(?): Centrality kT dependence System deformation at Freeze-out Nuclear Modifications to Hard Scattering d+Au Control Experiment Collisions of small with large nuclei were always foreseen as necessary to quantify cold nuclear matter effects. Recent theoretical work on the “Color Glass Condensate” model provides alternative explanation of data: Jets are not quenched, but are a priori made in fewer numbers. Kharzeev, Levin, Nardi, NPA730, 448 (2004) Small + Large distinguishes all initial and final state effects. RAA vs RdA for Identified p0 Charged Hadron Results Striking difference of d+Au and Au+Au results. Charged Hadrons higher than neutral pions. Centrality Dependence Dramatically different and opposite centrality evolution of Au+Au experiment from d+Au control one. Jet Suppression is clearly a final state effect. Rcp Variable Jet Quenching;Azimuthal dependence Path Length Dependence Path Length Dependence Particle Dependence of Asymmetry Conclusions Flow A wealth of hadron data becomes available for v1, v2 (even v4 and v6 from STAR). Electron and charm flows from PHENIX HBT Out-of-plane extended source at freeze-out Short lived system remembers its initial spatial geometry Jet Quenching Cronin in d+Au Suppression/non-suppression fol
