TLDR
The yield ratio does not show the suppression observed in central Au+Au collisions at RHIC, but there is a small enhancement in the yield of high momentum particles.
Abstract
Transverse momentum spectra of charged hadrons with p(T)<8 GeV/c and neutral pions with p(T)<10 GeV/c have been measured at midrapidity by the PHENIX experiment at BNL RHIC in d+Au collisions at sqrt[s(NN)]=200 GeV. The measured yields are compared to those in p+p collisions at the same sqrt[s(NN)] scaled up by the number of underlying nucleon-nucleon collisions in d+Au. The yield ratio does not show the suppression observed in central Au+Au collisions at RHIC. Instead, there is a small enhancement in the yield of high momentum particles.

The PHOBOS Perspective on Discoveries at RHIC

TL;DR: In the most central Au+Au collisions at the highest beam energy, evidence is found for the formation of a very high energy density system whose description in terms of simple hadronic degrees of freedom is inappropriate as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: A brief history of the original Glauber model is presented in this article, with emphasis on its development into the purely classical, geometric picture used for present-day data analyses.
