Charm Production at Large Rapidities in p+p and d+Au Collisions at PHENIX at RHIC

We study charm production through dimuon and single muon measurements at forward and backward rapidities in p+p and d+Au collisions with the PHENIX muon detectors. We also compare open charm to $J/\psi$ yields in the forward and backward rapidities in d+Au collisions and study the origin of the larg...

Sumario:We study charm production through dimuon and single muon measurements at forward and backward rapidities in p+p and d+Au collisions with the PHENIX muon detectors. We also compare open charm to $J/\psi$ yields in the forward and backward rapidities in d+Au collisions and study the origin of the large forward and backward asymmetry in open charm production observed by the PHENIX experiment.
