$R_{dA}$ measurement with muons from light and heavy flavor decay in $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200 GeV/c2$ p-p and d-Au collisions in PHENIX experiment at RHIC

The particle production in d-Au collisions at RHIC in the forward and backward directions is sensitive to various nuclear effects. A study of light meson and heavy flavor production in d-Au collisions in various kinematics regions presents an opportunity to probe cold nuclear medium effects - from parton shadowing, Color Glass Condensate to initial state energy loss. The PHENIX muon arms cover both forward and backward directions in the rapidity range of $1.2 < |\eta| < 2.4$, and are in a good position to make such measurements. We investigate nuclear medium effects on light meson and heavy flavor hadron via decay muons in the p-p and d-Au collisions. The current status of this analysis will be presented.
