✦ Synopsis
The new forward Muon Piston Calorimeters allow PHENIX to explore low-x parton distributions in d+Au collisions with hopes of observing gluon saturation. We present a two-particle azimuthal Δφ correlation measurement made between a mid-rapidity particle (|η 1 | < 0.35) and a forward π 0 (3.1 < η 2 < 3.9) wherein we compare correlation widths in d+Au to p+p and compute I dA .
