Event characterization
The centrality of the collision for the results that will be presented is defined as fractions of the total multiplicity measured with the TMA in -2<<2
The centrality of Au-Au collisions can also be defined with the ZDC and BB or TMA correlations.
Our triggers are defined with the ZDC and BB, p+p and d+Au collisions were triggered with the INEL detectors.

Charged particle production
This is one of the first measurements at RHIC with a multiplicity density unexpectedly low. It may indicate the high degree of coherence in high energy A+A collisions.
It already shows a bell shape and a slow growth as function of centrality.

Baryon number transportEven at this high energy, there is a non-zero net proton at mid-rapidity.
Baryon junctions can have a small-x component that would bring baryon number to mid-rapidity.

Strangeness production
Mid-rapidity RHIC is well beyond the “resonance gas” of CERN. It appears that the production of K- and K+ is becoming “similar” .
At forward rapidities, the baryon chemical potential has grown by ~ 5 and we may be entering again a CERN like system.

We found remarkable similarity in the baryon number transport in Au+Au and p+p collisions as seen in the anti-proton/proton ratio.
The Au+Au results were extracted from 0-20% central events.

PT suppression can be related to two possible mechanisms:
Modification of the wave function in the initial state
Cronin type enhancement by coherent multiple scattering at y~0
Quantum evolution at high rapidity. Gluon emmission tamed by fusion. dNg/d(ln1/x) = s (2Ng - Ng2)
The growth of the numerator in RABor Rcp is slower than that of the denominator.

d+Au nuclear modification factor
The absence of suppression in d+Au at y=0 and back-to-back correlations have been considered necessary conditions to the formation of a dense and opaque medium; the suppression seen in Au+Au is a final state effect.
But the possibility of a saturated Au cannot be excluded

Summary
• We have now a wide view of bulk particle production in Au+Au collisions. There are no extended plateaus in the density distributions, ~ 70% of the beam energy is made available for particle production in central Au+Au.
• Forward physics has proved to be a fertile ground for discovery and an important ingredient of our understanding of the new medium formed at RHIC.
