Forward Pion Production in Hadron Collisions at STAR
摘要
Measurements are reported of the production of high energy pi^0 mesons at large pseudorapidity, coincident with charged hadrons at mid-rapidity, for proton+proton and deuteron+gold collisions at sqrt{s_{NN}}=200 GeV. The p+p cross section for inclusive pi^0 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.
