Identified Particle Production in d+Au and p+p collisions at RHIC

Nuclear Experiment 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

The BRAHMS experiment at RHIC has measured the transverse momentum spectra of charged pions, kaons and (anti-)protons over a wide range of rapidity in d+Au and p+p collisions at sNN=200\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200 GeV. The nuclear modification factor RdAuR_{dAu} at forward rapidities shows a clear suppression for π+\pi^{+}. The measured net-proton yields in p+p collisions are compared to PYTHIA and HIJING/B and seem to be better described by the latter.
