Abstract
We explore how nuclear modifications to the nucleon parton distributions affect production of high-transverse-momentum hadrons in deuteron-nucleus collisions. We calculate the charged hadron spectra to leading order using standard fragmentation functions and shadowing parametrizations. We obtain the to ratio both in minimum bias collisions and as a function of centrality. The minimum bias results agree reasonably well with the BRAHMS data while the calculated centrality dependence underestimates the data and is a stronger function of than the data indicate.
