We find that at $p_T\\sim 10$ GeV the pion spectrum is suppressed by $\\sim 20-30\\,(25-35)$\\% for RHIC (LHC), for $D$~($B$) mesons the suppression effect is smaller by a factor of $\\sim 0.7-0.8$ ($0.5$). The flavor hierarchy $R_{pp}^\\pi<R_{pp}^D<R_{pp}^B$ is held at $p_T\\lesssim 20$ GeV for RHIC and at $p_T\\lesssim 70$ GeV for LHC. This gives a sizeable reduction of "},"claims":{"count":0,"items":[],"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"source":{"id":"1509.07020","kind":"arxiv","version":1},"verdict":{"id":null,"model_set":{},"created_at":null,"strongest_claim":"","one_line_summary":"","pipeline_version":null,"weakest_assumption":"","pith_extraction_headline":""},"references":{"count":0,"sample":[],"resolved_work":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57","internal_anchors":0},"formal_canon":{"evidence_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"author_claims":{"count":0,"strong_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"builder_version":"pith-number-builder-2026-05-17-v1"}
