Forward Rapidity Hadron Production in Deuteron Gold Collisions from Valence Quarks
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider hadron production in deuteron gold collisions at RHIC in the forward rapidity region. Treating the target nucleus as a Color Glass Condensate and the projectile deuteron as a dilute system of valence quarks, we obtain good agreement with the BRAHMS minimum bias data on charged hadron production in the forward rapidity (y = 3.2) and low pt region. We provide predictions for neutral pion production in minimum bias deuteron gold collisions in the forward rapidity region, y = 3.8, measured by the STAR collaboration at RHIC.

Production of Forward Rapidity Photons in High Energy Heavy Ion Collisions
We consider production of prompt photons in high energy gold-gold and deuterongold collisions in the forward rapidity region of RHIC (y ∼ 3.8). In this kinematics, the projectile partons typically have large xbj while the target partons are mostly at very small xbj so that the primary partonic collisions involve valence quarks from the projectile and gluons from the target. We take the target n...
متن کاملHigh p T Hadron Spectra at High Rapidity
We report the measurement of charged hadron production at different pseudo-rapidity values in deuteron+gold as well as proton-proton collisions at √ sNN = 200GeV at RHIC. The nuclear modification factors RdAu and Rcp are used to investigate new behaviors in the deuteron+gold system as function of rapidity and the centrality of the collisions respectively.

متن کاملCronin effect and high–p⊥ suppression from the Color Glass Condensate
I give a pedagogical survey of the nuclear collective effects associated with gluon saturation and their impact on particle production in high–energy proton (or deuteron)–nucleus collisions at RHIC. At central rapidity, the theory predicts a Cronin peak due to independent multiple scattering off the valence quarks in the nucleus. At forward rapidities, the peak flattens out and disappears very ...
متن کاملForward Physics at Star Status of Analysis on Forward and mid Rapidity Correlation Measurements in P+p and D+au
Measurements of the production of high energy π mesons at large pseudorapidity, coincident with charged hadrons at mid-rapidity, for proton+proton and deuteron+gold collisions at √ sNN = 200 GeV are reported. The p+p cross section for inclusive π production follows expectations from next-to-leading order perturbative QCD. Both the inclusive cross section and the di-hadron azimuthal correlations...
