Proton-nucleus Collisions in the Color Glass Condensate Framework
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss proton-nucleus collisions in the framework of the color glass condensate. By assuming that the proton can be described as a low density color source, we solve exactly the Yang-Mills equations corresponding to this type of collision, and then use this solution in order to calculate inclusive gluon production or quarkantiquark production. Our result shows that k⊥-factorization, while valid for gluon production, is violated for quark pair production in proton-nucleus collisions.

Saturation Physics and Deuteron–Gold Collisions at RHIC
We present a review of parton saturation/Color Glass Condensate physics in the context of deuteron-gold (d+Au) collisions at RHIC. Color Glass Condensate physics is a universal description of all high energy hadronic and nuclear interactions. It comprises classical (McLerran-Venugopalan model and Glauber-Mueller rescatterings) and quantum evolution (JIMWLK and BK equations) effects both in smal...
متن کاملHigh energy pA collisions in the color glass condensate approach II. Quark production
We compute the production of quark-antiquark pairs in high energy collisions between a small and a large projectile, as in proton-nucleus collisions, in the framework of the Color Glass Condensate. We derive a general expression for quark pair-production, which is not k⊥-factorizable. However, k⊥-factorization is recovered in the limit of large mass pairs or large quark–anti-quark momenta. Our ...
متن کاملDilepton production from the Color Glass Condensate
We consider dilepton production in high energy proton-nucleus (and very forward nucleus-nucleus) collisions. Treating the target nucleus as a Color Glass Condensate and describing the projectile proton (nucleus) as a collection of quarks and gluons as in the parton model, we calculate the differential cross section for dilepton production in quark-nucleus scattering and show that it is very sen...
متن کاملLimiting fragmentation from the Color Glass Condensate
We show how the limiting fragmentation phenomenon can arise from the Color Glass Condensate model of high energy QCD. We consider the very forward rapidity region in relativistic heavy ion collisions and argue that in this region, nucleus-nucleus collisions are similar to proton-nucleus collisions (up to shadowing corrections). We then use the known results for proton-nucleus cross sections to ...
متن کاملQuark production in high energy proton-nucleus collisions
In this note, we discuss the problem of quark-antiquark pair production in the framework of the color glass condensate. The cross-section can be calculated in closed form for the case of proton-nucleus collisions, where the proton can be considered to be a dilute object. We find that k⊥-factorization is broken by rescattering effects. PACS. 11.80.La Multiple scattering – 11.15.Kc Classical and ...
