چکیده
Using the forward time projection chambers of the STAR experiment at the Brookhaven Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider we measure the centrality dependent Λ and ¯ Λ yields and the inverse slope parameters in d+Au collisions at forward and backward rapidities y = ±2.75. The contributions of different processes to stopping and baryon transport are probed exploiting the inherent asymmetry of the d+Au system. Comparisons to model calculations show that the baryon transport on the deuteron side is due to multiple collisions of the deuteron nucleons with gold participants. On the gold side, the inclusion of inital state nuclear effects or hadronic rescattering is necessary to describe the data.

We present the preliminary results on φ meson production in the φ → K + K − and φ → e + e − decay channels measured at mid-rapidity in √ s = 200 GeV d + Au collisions at RHIC by the PHENIX experiment. The transverse mass spectra were obtained in both channels. The extracted φ yields are found to be consistent with each other. The results are compared to the measurements in Au + Au collisions at...

The elliptic flow parameter (v 2) for K 0 S and Λ + Λ has been measured at mid-rapidity in Au + Au collisions at √ s N N = 200 GeV by the STAR collaboration. The v 2 values for both K 0 S and Λ + Λ saturate at moderate p T , deviating from the hydrodynamic behavior observed in the lower p T region. The saturated v 2 values and the p T scales where the deviation begins are particle dependent. Th...

STAR has measured forward π 0 production in p+p and d+Au collisions at √ s NN = 200 GeV. The p+p yield generally agrees with NLO pQCD calculations. The d+Au yield is strongly suppressed at η = 4.0, well below shadowing expectations. Exploratory measurements of azimuthal correlations between forward π 0 and mid-rapidity charged hadrons show a recoil peak in p+p that is suppressed in d+Au at low ...
