Abstract

We present the analysis of Υe+e\Upsilon\to e^{+}e^{-} production in d+Au collisions at sNN=200\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200 GeV from the STAR experiment. Using higher level dedicated Υ\Upsilon triggers, STAR has sampled 32 nb1^{-1} of integrated luminosity in year 2008 d+Au run. The cross section is found as BR×(dσdy)y=0Υ(1S+2S+3S)=35±4(stat.)±5(sys.)BR\times{({{d\sigma}\over{dy}})}_{y=0}^{\Upsilon(1S+2S+3S)}=35\pm4(stat.)\pm5(sys.) nb and it is consistent with NLO CEM prediction with anti-shadowing effects. In addition we calculated the nuclear modification factor RdAu=0.98±0.32(stat.)±0.28(sys.)R_{dAu}=0.98\pm0.32(stat.)\pm0.28(sys.), which suggests the Υ(1S+2S+3S)\Upsilon(1S+2S+3S) production follows NbinN_{bin} scaling.
