Abstract

We present the preliminary results on ϕ\phi meson production in the ϕK+K\phi \to K^{+}K^{-} and ϕe+e\phi \to e^{+}e^{-} decay channels measured at mid-rapidity in s\sqrt{s} = 200 GeV d + Au collisions at RHIC by the PHENIX experiment. The transverse mass spectra were obtained in both channels. The extracted ϕ\phi yields are found to be consistent with each other. The results are compared to the measurements in Au + Au collisions at the same center of mass energy.
