Boost covariant gluon distributions in large nuclei

چکیده
It has been shown recently that there exist analytical solutions of the Yang–Mills equations for non–Abelian Weizsäcker–Williams fields which describe the distribution of gluons in large nuclei at small x. These solutions however depend on the color charge distribution at large rapidities. We here construct a model of the color charge distribution of partons in the fragmentation region and use it to compute the boost covariant momentum distributions of wee gluons. The phenomenological applications of our results are discussed.

Classical Gluon Radiation in Ultrarelativistic Nucleus–Nucleus Collisions
The classical Yang–Mills equations are solved perturbatively in covariant gauge for a collision of two ultrarelativistic nuclei. The nuclei are taken as ensembles of classical color charges on eikonal trajectories. The classical gluon field is computed in coordinate space up to cubic order in the coupling constant g. We construct the Feynman diagrams corresponding to this field and show the equ...
متن کاملNuclear Gluon Distributions in a Parton Model
Gluon distributions in the carbon and tin nuclei are investigated by using a Q 2 rescaling model with parton recombination effects. We obtain strong shadowings in the small x region due to the recombinations. The ratio G A (x)/G N (x) in the medium x region is typically 0.9 for medium size nuclei. At large x, the ratio becomes large due to gluon fusions from different nucleons. Comparisons with...
متن کاملModeling Magnetic Field in Heavy ion Collisions Using Two Different Nuclear Charge Density Distributions
By studying the properties of matter during heavy-ion collisions, a better understanding of the Quark-Gluon plasma is possible. One of the main areas of this study is the calculation of the magnetic field, particularly how the values of conductivity affects this field and how the field strength changes with proper time. In matching the theoretical calculations with results obtained in lab, two diffe...

Within the framework of a generalized collinear factorization for multiple parton scattering in nuclear medium, twist-4 contributions to DIS off a large nucleus can be factorized as a convolution of hard parts and two-parton correlation functions. The hard parts for the quark scattering in the light-cone gauge correspond to interaction with a transverse (physical) gluon in the target, while the...
متن کاملParton Densities and Dipole Cross-sections at Small X in Large Nuclei
Unintegrated gluon densities in nuclei, dipole-nucleus cross-sections and quark densities are numerically investigated in the high-colour limit, with the scattering on a heavy nucleus exactly described by the sum of fan diagrams of BFKL pomerons. The initial condition for the evolution in rapidity is quickly forgotten, and the gluon density presents a ”supersaturation” pattern, as previous stud...
