       Forward Particle Production at RHIC

                     Les Bland
STAR Collaboration, Brookhaven National Laboratory, USA



The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National
Laboratory is unique in its capability of colliding heavy-ion beams, light
ion beams on heavy-ion beams and polarized proton beams at large
center-of-mass energy (\sqrt{s}=200 GeV).  There are particularly
interesting aspects of these capabilities revealed by experiments focusing
on forward particle production.  In particular, large spin effects have
been observed for forward particle production in polarized proton
collisions that may reveal how the proton gets its spin from its quarks,
antiquarks and gluons. Forward particle production in the direction of the
deuteron beam may establish if the gluon density in a heavy nucleus
saturates for low-momentum gluons. Production of charmonium in the forward
direction may provide insights into heavy-quark components of the proton. 
his talk will present results from recent forward particle production
experiments and plans for the future.
