In this paper, the nuclear modification factor derived from the inclusive yields of π0 mesons in p+p and d+Au collisions at center of mass energy sNN = 200 GeV and pseudorapidity = 4.00 (d beam direction) were reported.
Abstract
Measurements of the inclusive yields of π0 mesons in p+p and d+Au collisions at center of mass energy sNN = 200 GeV and pseudorapidity 〈η〉 = 4.00 (d beam direction) are reported. The yield for p+p collisions is in general agreement with perturbative QCD calculations. The d+Au yield is in agreement with a calculation which models the Au nucleus as a Color Glass Condensate for forward particle production. The nuclear modification factor derived from the inclusive yields is qualitatively consistent with models which suppress the gluon density in nuclei.

Geometric scaling violations in the central rapidity region of d+Au collisions at RHIC

TL;DR: In this paper, the anomalous dimension of the small-x gluon distribution of RHIC deuteron-nucleus and HERA DIS phenomenology is investigated.
