We report on a study of the transverse momentum dependence of nuclear modification factors R(dAu) for charged hadrons produced in deuteron + gold collisions at sqrt[s(NN)]=200 GeV, as a function of collision centrality and of the pseudorapidity (eta=0, 1, 2.2, 3.2) of the produced hadrons. We find a significant and systematic decrease of R(dAu) with increasing rapidity. The midrapidity enhancement and the forward rapidity suppression are more pronounced in central collisions relative to peripheral collisions. These results are relevant to the study of the possible onset of gluon saturation at energies reached at BNL RHIC.

• CGC predictions for p + Pb collisions at the LHC (2012, background): “8 we compare our results for single inclusive charged hadron (BRAHMS data [51]) and neutral pion (STAR data [52]) distributions measured in p+p and d+Au collisions at RHIC.”
• Heavy-quarkonium suppression in p-A collisions from parton energy loss in cold QCD matter (2012, result): “For instance, quarkonium [9] but also light hadron [10, 11] production at large longitudinal momentum fraction xF (or large rapidity) is strongly suppressed in p–A as compared to p–p collisions.”
