Soft-hard interplay and factorization for baryon production in the target fragmentation region in ep collisions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss baryon production in the nucleon fragmentation region in deep inelastic scattering. The dependence of the nucleon spectra on Bjorken-x is evaluated within the parton model and in QCD, and ways to look for the break-down of the DGLAP approximation via baryon production are suggested. We argue also that the leading neutron production in these small x processes is rather insensitive to the pion parton densities of the nucleon.

Identified hadron spectra from pp, dA and AA collisions
The experimental data for identified hadron spectra from pp, d+A and AA collisions are reviewed. Three regions with different dominant production mechanisms are considered: soft region (pT < 2 GeV/c) – with large degree of collectivity and thermalization, hard particle production which exhibits jet-quenching in Au+Au collisions at RHIC and intermediate region (2< pT <5 GeV/c) with distinct bary...
متن کاملBaryon enhancement in high-density QCD and relativistic heavy ion collisions
We argue that the collinear factorization of the fragmentation functions in high energy nuclear collisions breaks down at transverse momenta pT . Qs/g due to high parton densities in the colliding hadrons and/or nuclei. We find that gluon recombination dominates in that pT region. We calculate the inclusive cross-section for π meson and nucleon production using the low energy theorems for the s...
متن کاملBreaking of k⊥-factorization for Single Jet Production off Nuclei
The linear k⊥-factorization is part and parcel of the pQCD description of high energy hard processes off free nucleons. In the case of heavy nuclear targets the very concept of nuclear parton density becomes ill-defined as exemplified by the recent derivation [2] of nonlinear nuclear k⊥-factorization for forward dijet production in DIS off nuclei. Here we report a derivation of the related brea...
متن کاملJet Correlations with Identified Particles from PHENIX : Methods and Results
Azimuthal angle two particle correlations have been shown to be a powerful probe for extracting novel features of the interaction between hard scattered partons and the medium produced in Au+Au collisions at RHIC. At intermediate pT , 2-5GeV/c, the jets have been shown to be significantly modified in both their particle composition and their angular distribution compared to p+p collisions. Addi...

We discuss novel QCD phenomena in pA collisions at LHC energies such as the possibility to invesigate the behaviour of hard processes at x as low as 10 −7 , signals for onset of the black body limit in the hard processes and in the nucleon fragmentation, multijet production. 1. Physics motivations The proton-ion collisions at LHC will be qualitatively different from those at fixed target energi...
