Abstract

Nuclear modification factor RAA of π0 mesons produced in 3HeAu collisions at a cms energy of \(\sqrt {{{s}_{{NN}}}} \) = 200 GeV is extracted from data of the PHENIX experiment at the RHIC. The mean RAA value for π0 mesons with pT > 8 GeV/c is found to be close to 0.8 for central 3He + Au collisions.
