pi0 Fixed pT suppression and elliptic flow at LHC

Abstract

Using a final state interaction model which describes the data on these two observables, at RHIC, we make predictions at the LHC -- using the same cross-section and pT-shift. The increase in the medium density between these two energies (by a factor close to three) produces an increase of the fixed pT pi0 suppression by a factor 2 at large pT and of v2 by a factor 1.5.
