Shadowing Effects on the Nuclear Suppression Factor, R_dAu, in d+Au Interactions
arXiv:hep-ph/0405060 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevC.70.064902
Abstract
We explore how nuclear modifications to the nucleon parton distributions affect production of high transverse momentum hadrons in deuteron-nucleus collisions. We calculate the charged hadron spectra to leading order using standard fragmentation functions and shadowing parameterizations. We obtain the d+Au to pp ratio both in minimum bias collisions and as a function of centrality. The minimum bias results agree reasonably well with the BRAHMS data while the calculated centrality dependence underestimates the data and is a stronger function of p_T than the data indicate.
