Abstract

We consider hadron production in deuteron gold collisions at RHIC in the forward rapidity region. Treating the target nucleus as a Color Glass Condensate and the projectile deuteron as a dilute system of valence quarks, we obtain good agreement with the BRAHMS minimum bias data on charged hadron production in the forward rapidity (y=3.2) and low p_t region. We provide predictions for neutral pion production in minimum bias deuteron gold collisions in the forward rapidity region, y=3.8, measured by the STAR collaboration at RHIC.
