BRAHMS Results in the Context of Saturation and Quantum Evolution

BRAHMS Results in the Context of Saturation and Quantum Evolution We report BRAHMS results from RHIC d+Au and p+p collisions at √{<i>sNN</i>} = 200 GeV. A remarkable change in the nuclear modification factor <i>R</i>dAu is seen as the pseudorapidity of the detected charged hadrons changes from zero at mid-rapidity to 3.2 at the most forward angle studied during the 2003 run. For pseudorapidity &eta; > 1 the suppression of the <i>Rcp</i> factor is more pronounced in the sample of central events in contrast to the behavior at mid-rapidity where the central events show higher enhancement compared to a semi-central sample. These results are consistent with a saturated Au wave function strongly affected by quantum evolution at higher values of rapidity. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Acta Physica Hungarica Series A, Heavy Ion Physics Springer Journals

Abstract

We report BRAHMS results from RHIC d+Au and p+p collisions at √{<i>sNN</i>} = 200 GeV. A remarkable change in the nuclear modification factor <i>R</i>dAu is seen as the pseudorapidity of the detected charged hadrons changes from zero at mid-rapidity to 3.2 at the most forward angle studied during the 2003 run. For pseudorapidity &eta; > 1 the suppression of the <i>Rcp</i> factor is more pronounced in the sample of central events in contrast to the behavior at mid-rapidity where the central events show higher enhancement compared to a semi-central sample. These results are consistent with a saturated Au wave function strongly affected by quantum evolution at higher values of rapidity.
