Nuclear Modification Factor In D + Au Collisions: Onset Of Suppression In The Color Glass Condensate, Dmitri Kharzeev, Yuri V. Kovchegov, Kirill Tuchin
Nuclear Modification Factor In D + Au Collisions: Onset Of Suppression In The Color Glass Condensate, Dmitri Kharzeev, Yuri V. Kovchegov, Kirill Tuchin
Kirill Tuchin
We perform a quantitative analysis of the nuclear modification factor in deuteron-gold collisions R dAu within the Color Glass Condensate approach, and compare our results with the recent data from RHIC experiments. Our model leads to Cronin enhancement at mid-rapidity, while at forward rapidities it predicts strong suppression of R dAu at all PT due to low-x evolution. We demonstrate that our results are consistent with the data for dAu charged hadron spectra, R dAu and R CP recently reported for rapidities in the interval η=0-3.2 by the BRAHMS experiment at RHIC. We also make a prediction for R pA …
Inclusive Gluon Production In Deep Inelastic Scattering At High Parton Density, Yuri V. Kovchegov, Kirill Tuchin
Inclusive Gluon Production In Deep Inelastic Scattering At High Parton Density, Yuri V. Kovchegov, Kirill Tuchin
Kirill Tuchin
We calculate the cross section of single inclusive gluon production in deep inelastic scattering at very high energies in the saturation regime, where the parton densities inside hadrons and nuclei are large and the evolution of structure functions with energy is nonlinear. The expression we obtain for the inclusive gluon production cross section is generated by this nonlinear evolution. We analyze the rapidity distribution of the produced gluons as well as their transverse momentum spectrum given by the derived expression for the inclusive cross section. We propose an ansatz for the multiplicity distribution of gluons produced in nuclear collisions which …
