The PHENIX Collaboration has measured the ratio of the yields oftomesons produced in,,, andcollisions atGeV over the forward and backward rapidity intervals. We find that the ratio incollisions is consistent with measurements at other collision energies. In collisions with nuclei, we find that in the forward (-going or-going) direction, the relative yield ofmesons tomesons is consistent with the value measured incollisions. However, in the backward (nucleus-going) direction, themeson is preferentially suppressed by a factor of. This suppression is attributed in some models to the breakup of the weakly boundmeson through final-state interactions with comoving particles, which have a higher density in the nucleus-going direction. These breakup effects may compete with color screening in a deconfined quark-gluon plasma to produce sequential suppression of excited quarkonia states.
