Muon production in the forward and backward rapidities in dAu collisions at RHIC
نویسنده
چکیده
We have developed new techniques to detect hadrons with the PHENIX muon spectrometers. This allows us to study the centrality dependent nuclear modification factor RCP with high pT hadrons in both forward (d direction) and backward (Au direction) rapidities, 1 < |η| < 2, in d-Au collisions atsNN = 200GeV . Preliminary results show a suppression (enhancement) of high pT hadron production in central 0−20% dAu collisions relative to the peripheral one (60−88% in centrality) at forward (backward) rapidity.

Hadron production in the forward and backward rapidities in dAu collisions at RHIC
We have developed new techniques to detect hadrons with the PHENIX muon spectrometers. This allows us to study the centrality dependent nuclear modification factor RCP with high pT hadrons in both forward (d direction) and backward (Au direction) pseudo-rapidities, 1 < |η| < 2, in d-Au collisions at √ sNN = 200GeV . Preliminary results show a suppression (enhancement) of high pT hadron producti...
متن کاملov 2 00 6 Dilepton distributions at backward rapidities
The dilepton production at backward rapidities in pAu and pp collisions at RHIC and LHC energies is investigated in the dipole approach. The results are shown through the nuclear modification ratio RpA considering transverse momentum and rapidity spectra. The dilepton modification ratio presents interesting behavior at the backward rapidities when compared with the already known forward ones, s...
متن کاملEnergy losses in the black disc regime and correlation effects in the STAR forward pion production in dAu collisions
We argue that in the small x processes, in the black disc QCD regime (BDR) a very forward parton propagating through the nuclear matter should loose a significant and increasing with energy and atomic number fraction of its initial energy as a result of dominance of inelastic interactions, causality and energy-momentum conservation. We evaluate these energy losses and find them to lead to the s...
متن کاملJ/ψ production and nuclear effects for d+Au and p+p collisions in PHENIX
PHENIX has measured J/ψ production at backward, central and forward rapidities both in p+p and d+Au collisions at √ sNN = 200 GeV during the third run of the RHIC collider. From the p+p collisions, we measure the total J/ψ cross section. From the d+Au collisions, we compute the nuclear modification factor versus transverse momentum, rapidity and centrality. All results presented here are prelim...
متن کاملMeasurement of Open Heavy Flavor Production with Single Muons in p+p and d+Au Collisions at RHIC
Heavy flavor production in hadronic collisions is dominated by gluonic processes and so is a sensitive probe of the gluon structure function in the nucleon and its modification in nuclei. A study of heavy flavor production in p+p and d+Au collisions in various kinematic regions presents an opportunity to probe cold nuclear medium effects; parton shadowing, color glass condensate, initial state ...
