  Great interest has attached to recent Au+Au, E = 200 A GeV measurements at
RHIC, obtained with the PHENIX, STAR, PHOBOS and BRAHMS detectors. For central
collisions and vanishing pseudo-rapidity all experiments indicate a
considerable lowering in charged particle production at mid to large transverse
momenta. In the PHENIX experiment similar behavior has been reported for pi0
spectra. In a recent work on the presumably simpler D+Au interaction, to be
considered perhaps as a tune-up for Au+Au, we reported on a hadronic cascade
mechanism which can explain the observed but somewhat reduced pT suppression at
higher pseudo rapidity as well as the Cronin enhancement at mid rapidity. Here
we report on the extension of this work to the more massive ion-ion collisions.
