Abstract: (arXiv)
The measurements of the centrality dependence of and transverse momentum spectra from mid- to forward rapidity in d+Au collisions at 200 GeV are reported. They provide a sensitive tool for understanding the dynamics of multi-particle production in the high parton-density regime. In particular, we observe strong suppression of the nuclear modification factor at forward rapidities (d-side, = 3.1) and enhancement at backward rapidity ( = 3.1). An empirical scaling is obtained for multiplicity and when a shift of the center-of-mass in the asymmetric d+Au collisions with respect to the nucleon-nucleon system is applied.Note:
