The minimum $\chi^2$ and the parameters $T_{fo}$ and $\beta^{max}_T$ for each of the five centrality selections. The best fit parameters are determined by averaging all parameter pairs within the 1$\sigma$ contour. The errors correspond to the standard deviation of the parameter pairs within the 1$\sigma$ $\chi^2$ contour.

The expansion parameters $T_{fo}$ and $\beta^{max}_T$ as a function of the number of participants.

Centrality dependence of $⟨p^{trunc}_T⟩$, the average $p_T$ of charged particles with $p_T$ above a threshold $p^{min}_T$ minus the threshold $p^{min}_T$. Shown are values for two $p^{min}_T$ cuts, one at $p_T >$ 0.5 GeV/$c$ representing all data presented in Fig. 2 and the other one at $p_T >$ 2 GeV/$c$.

Nuclear modification factor ($R_{AA}$) for the 60-80%, 30-60%, 15-30%, and 5-15% centrality selections compared to the one for the most central sample (0-5%). Due to insufficient statistics $R_{AA}$ is not shown for the 80-92% sample.

The top panel gives the nuclear modification factor $R_{AA}$ for three exclusive $p_T$ regions as a function of the centrality of the collision. The lower panel shows essentially the same quantity but normalized to the number of participant pairs rather than to the number of binary collisions. The dotted line indicates the expectation for scaling with the number of binary collisions (top) or with the number of participants (bottom). Only statistical errors are shown. The systematic error on the scale and the centrality dependence are identical to the errors shown in Fig. 5. These errors are correlated, i.e. take their maximum or minimum value simultaneously for all centrality and $p_T$ selections. In addition, there are also $p_T$ dependent systematic errors, which are given in Table 1. The systematic errors do not alter the trends in the data.

The residual distribution between the data and mixed event $M_{e_T}$ spectra as a function of $M_{e_T}$ in units of standard deviation. The total ${\chi}^2$ and the number of degrees of freedom for the $0-5\%$, $0-10\%$, $10-20\%$, $20-30\%$ centrality classes are 310.0/32, 896.4/36, 678.7/47, and 553.9/53, respectively. A large fraction of the residual contributions are due to the effects of cluster merging.
