This thesis reports the measurement of the inclusive charged particle (h+ + h-) p$$\perp$$ spectra for 1.7 < p$$\perp$$ < 6 GeV/c at midrapidity (|η| < 0.5) as a function of various centrality classes in Au+Au collisions at √sNN = 130 GeV. Hadron suppression is observed relative to both scaled NN and peripheral Au+Au reference data, possibly indicating non-Abelian radiative energy loss in a hot, dense medium.
