Energy and System Size Dependence of Photon Production at Forward Rapidities at RHIC

Nuclear Experiment 2008-11-26 v2

Abstract

The energy and system size dependence of pseudorapidity (η\eta) and multiplicity distributions of photons are measured in the region -2.3 \leq η\eta \leq -3.7 for Cu + Cu collisions at sNN\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200 and 62.4 GeV. Photon multiplicity measurements at forward rapidity have been carried out using a Photon Multiplicity Detector (PMD) in the STAR experiment. Photons are found to follow longitudinal scaling for Cu + Cu collisions for 0-10% centrality. A Comparison of pseudorapidity distributions with HIIJING model is also presented.
