> We report the measurement of $\Lambda$ and anti-$\Lambda$ yields and inverse slope parameters in
> d + Au collisions at ?sNN = 200 GeV at forward and backward rapidities (y = ± 2.75), using data from
> the STAR forward time projection chambers. The contributions of different processes to baryon transport
> and particle production are probed exploiting the inherent asymmetry of the d + Au system. Comparisons
> to model calculations show that the baryon transport on the deuteron side is consistent with
> multiple collisions of the deuteron nucleons with gold participants. On the gold side HIJING based
> models do not describe the measured particle yields while models with initial state nuclear effects
> and/or hadronic rescattering do. The Multi-Chain Model can provide a good description of the net
> baryon density in d + Au collisions at RHIC, and the derived parameters of the model agree with
> those from nuclear collisions at lower energies.
