(with the current setup) BRAHMS measurement capabilities (PID and momentum ) at large y are unique in the RHIC Program. The PID capabilities at y~0,1 is at par or better than other exp. The Program is well underway with the Au-Au data from RUN-2 and d- Au & pp data from Run-3

Initial measurement at y~2.2 for identified pions. Obtained with ~ 4 µb-1 ,but for central events only. Need >*10 statistics to get high quality peripheral data. Measurements can also be done at somewhat higher y (~3) where the dN(π)/dy has dropped to ~ ½ the value at y~0. Estimated π spectrum at y~2.7, with 40 µb-1. Lower pt range requires ~ 10 µb-1

Low energy data (AGS) show clear differences between pi+-0. At higher energies the models used to describe the data differ. Large spin effects reported by STAR for √s = 200 GeV pp collisions This makes it an appealing measurement within the RHIC spin program, and has been discussed within the RHIC spin group.
