Rapidity and centrality dependence of azimuthal correlations in Deuteron-Gold collisions at RHIC
Abstract
We calculate azimuthal correlations in dAu collisions at different rapidities and centralities and argue that experimentally observed depletion of the back-to-back pick can be quantitatively explained by gluon saturation in the Color Glass Condensate of the Gold nucleus.
