> Title: Azimuthal Angle Correlations for Rapidity Separated Hadron Pairs in
> d+Au Collisions at \sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200 GeV
> 
> Abstract:
> 
> We report on two-particle azimuthal angle correlations between charged
> hadrons at forward/backward (deuteron/gold going direction) rapidity and
> charged hadrons at mid-rapidity in deuteron-gold (d+Au) and proton-proton
> (p+p) collisions at \sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200 GeV. Jet structures are observed in
> the correlations which we quantify in terms of the conditional yield and
> angular width of away side partners. The kinematic region studied here
> samples partons in the gold nucleus carrying nucleon momentum fraction x ~
> 0.1 to ~ 0.01. Within this range, we find no x dependence of the jet
> structure in d + Au collisions.
