Forward Pion Production in p+p and d+Au Collisions at STAR
G. Rakness
Abstract
Measurements are reported of the production of high energy pi-zero mesons from the STAR experiment in p+p and d+Au collisions at sqrt(sNN)=200 GeV and <eta>=4.00 (d beam direction). The inclusive yield agrees with perturbative QCD calculations in p+p collisions, but is found to be reduced in d+Au collisions. The azimuthal correlations of the forward pi-zero with charged hadrons at midrapidity agree with PYTHIA in p+p collisions, but are suppressed in d+Au collisions. The results are consistent with the conjecture that the gluon density in nuclei is suppressed.
