3  Production at forward Rapidity in d+Au Collisions at 200 GeV Frank Simon 3 16.09.2004 The STAR FTPCs coverage 2.5 < |  | < 4.0 2 FTPCs in STAR 10 rows per detector 960 pads per row => 19200 channels inner radius 8 cm, outer radius 30 cm 150 cm < |z| < 270 cm true radial electron drift magnetic field 0.5 T: tracking with momentum and charge determination no particle ID from dE/dx (maximum 10 points on track), momentum resolution ~ 15%

4  Production at forward Rapidity in d+Au Collisions at 200 GeV Frank Simon 4 16.09.2004 Why go forward? Why d+Au? Anti-  /  ratio < 1 at mid- rapidity (0.84 ± 0.05): Indicative of stopping Forward rapidity: Sensitive to baryon transport Asymmetry in d+Au collisions: Probe normally dense and cold medium on the Au side Multiple collisions of two constituents on deuteron side PHOBOS d+Au minbias, PRL 93, 082301 (2004) ~ 25 tracks~ 10 tracks Aud

5  Production at forward Rapidity in d+Au Collisions at 200 GeV Frank Simon 5 16.09.2004 Forward  s: Signal Extraction Identification of  candidates (V0) by searching for a possible secondary vertex of a positive/negative pair Apply geometric cuts on pairs to reduce combinatoric background: separation of tracks (daughter dca) < 0.25 cm Proton dca < 2 cm Pion dca > 2.5 cm/ 3 cm dca of resulting  candidate < 1 cm decay length > 5 cm main vertexdecay vertex

6  Production at forward Rapidity in d+Au Collisions at 200 GeV Frank Simon 6 16.09.2004 Acceptance for  candidates Acceptance as a function of y and p t Rapidity is the relevant physical variable Selected rapidity window 2.75 ± 0.25

7  Production at forward Rapidity in d+Au Collisions at 200 GeV Frank Simon 7 16.09.2004 Forward  s: Signal and Background , 1.116 GeV/c 2, BR 64% p    36% n    c  ~ 7.8 cm) No particle ID: K 0 s are the major source of background, contribution taken from HIJING simulations, K 0 s analysis feasible Signal shape is reproduced by simulations , FTPC d background subtraction

8  Production at forward Rapidity in d+Au Collisions at 200 GeV Frank Simon 8 16.09.2004 Invariant Mass Background subtracted invariant mass for  and Anti-  in both detectors Slight shift to lower mass (about 5 MeV/c 2 ) for FTPC Au, probably due to residual background at low p t

9  Production at forward Rapidity in d+Au Collisions at 200 GeV Frank Simon 9 16.09.2004 Corrections Efficiency & Acceptance Determined by embedding  s in d+Au events, and running those through the analysis code Efficiency for primary  s ~ 4% Feed down from particle decays  0 -> , BR ~100%: Cannot be resolved, so  s from  0 decays are included in primary  s  - ->  , BR ~ 100%: Measured at mid-rapidity  0 ->  , BR ~100%: Not measured, but the yield is assumed to be the same as for  - It is assumed that the ratio  does not change with rapidity

10  Production at forward Rapidity in d+Au Collisions at 200 GeV Frank Simon 10 16.09.2004 Minimum Bias Spectra Yield and inverse slope determined from m t exponential fit 65% of the total yield covered Problematic first bin on FTPC Au, background & efficiency problems Temperature parameter Deuteron side  : 241 ± 4 (stat) ± 11 (syst) MeV d side Anti-  : 242 ± 5 (stat) ± 15 (syst) MeV Au side  : 232 ± 5 (stat) ± 14 + 18 (syst) MeV Au side Anti-  : 210 ± 4 (stat) ± 14 + 23 (syst) MeV

11  Production at forward Rapidity in d+Au Collisions at 200 GeV Frank Simon 11 16.09.2004 Anti-  and  yields Anti-  consistent for all models  more tricky: Two production mechanisms, associated production NN ->  K N and pair production NN -> NN  Anti-  Baryon transport through multiple collisions and rescattering

12  Production at forward Rapidity in d+Au Collisions at 200 GeV Frank Simon 12 16.09.2004 peripheral (40% - 100%) Deuteron side  : 232 ± 5 (stat) ± 10 (syst) MeV Au side  : 232 ± 7 (stat) ± 14 + 18 (syst) MeV mid-central (20% - 40%) Deuteron side  : 239 ± 6 (stat) ± 15 (syst) MeV Au side  : 232 ± 6 (stat) ± 13 + 19 (syst) MeV central (top 20%) Deuteron side  : 257 ± 6 (stat) ± 13 (syst) MeV Au side  : 233 ± 6 (stat) ± 16 + 17 (syst) MeV Centrality Dependence Yield increases by a factor of 2.4 on the d and by a factor of 6 on Au side Temperature parameter on the d side increases with centrality Temperature parameter:

13  Production at forward Rapidity in d+Au Collisions at 200 GeV Frank Simon 13 16.09.2004 Centrality: Temperature Parameter Increase of the temperature parameter on the West side with increasing centrality due to higher number of collisions of the deuteron nucleons Significant:  2 /ndf for linear rise: 1.2, for constant: 5.2

14  Production at forward Rapidity in d+Au Collisions at 200 GeV Frank Simon 14 16.09.2004 Centrality: Yield Comparison to HIJING Asymmetry increases with centrality The majority of the events in the most peripheral bin have one spectator nucleon from the d

15  Production at forward Rapidity in d+Au Collisions at 200 GeV Frank Simon 15 16.09.2004 Net  Anti  Only associated production/baryon transport, very low at mid- rapidity Even on Au side: baryon transport over more than 2 units in rapidity minbias Aud

16  Production at forward Rapidity in d+Au Collisions at 200 GeV Frank Simon 16 16.09.2004 Model Comparisons Deuteron side well described by HIJING/BbarB, EPOS, AMPT Gold side well described by EPOS and AMPT On the Au side, hadronic transport is necessary to reproduce the data, HIJING plus additional baryon transport by junctions is not sufficient Thanks to L.W. Chen, C.M. Ko, Z.W. Lin, V. Topor-Pop, K. Werner for help, results and discussions

17  Production at forward Rapidity in d+Au Collisions at 200 GeV Frank Simon 17 16.09.2004 Anti-  /  Ratio Asymmetry d/Au side: Nucleons from the deuteron suffer multiple collisions, more baryon transport Less transport on the Au side, each Au nucleon participates only in one collision, but additional rescattering causes transport minbias Aud

18  Production at forward Rapidity in d+Au Collisions at 200 GeV Frank Simon 18 16.09.2004 Summary Forward  production in d+Au collisions at RHIC as signal to investigate stopping Asymmetry of d+Au: Multiple collisions of the two deuteron constituents while each participating gold nucleon is involved only once Anti-  /  shows strong contributions from baryon transport, more pronounced on the deuteron side Hadronic rescattering phase on the gold side The centrality dependence of the temperature parameter in agreement the multiple collision picture
