Forward Pion Production in Hadron Collisions at STAR
G. Rakness
Abstract
Measurements are reported of the production of high energy pi0 mesons at large pseudorapidity, coincident with charged hadrons at mid-rapidity, for proton+proton and deuteron+gold collisions at sqrtsNN=200 GeV. The p+p cross section for inclusive pi0 production follows expectations from next-to-leading order perturbative QCD. A suppression of the back-to-back azimuthal correlations was observed in d+Au, qualitatively consistent with the gluon saturation picture. Experimental uncertainties regarding the inclusive measurement are discussed.
