>
> The measurements of the centrality dependence of dN/d eta and
> transverse momentum spectra from mid- to forward rapidity in
> d+Au collisions at 200 GeV are reported.  They provide a
> sensitive tool for understanding the dynamics of multi-particle
> production in the high parton density regime.  In particular, we
> observe strong suppression of the nuclear modification factor
> (R_CP and R_dAu) at forward rapidities (d-side, eta = 3.1) and
> enhancement at backward rapidity (eta = -3.1).  An empirical
> scaling is obtained for multiplicity, R_CP and R_dAu when a
> shift of the center-of-mass in the asymmetric d+Au collisions with
> respect to that of nucleon-nucleon system is applied.
