Single inclusive particle production cross sections in high energy hadron collisions at forward rapidity
are an important benchmark process for the Color Glass Condensate picture of small x QCD. Recent
calculations of this process have not led to a stable perturbative expansion for this quantity at high
transverse momenta. We consider the quark channel production cross section using the new rapidity
factorization procedure proposed by Iancu et al. We show that for fixed coupling one does indeed obtain a
physically meaningful cross section which is positive and reduces in a controlled way to previous leading
order calculations. We also consider a running coupling that depends on the transverse momentum of the
produced particle. This gives a stable result which, however, is not fully consistent with previous leading
order calculations that use a coordinate space running coupling.
