Small x Gluons in Nuclei and Hadrons
نویسندگان
چکیده
We numerically study the effects of high gluon density at small x on the evolution of gluon distribution function in both hadrons and nuclei. Using a newly derived, Wilson renormalization group-based evolution equation which includes n to 1 gluon ladder fusion, we find significant reduction in nuclear gluon distribution function for large nuclei at zero impact parameter at energies relevant for RHIC and LHC experiments.

Glue drops inside hadrons
We present experimental evidences for the existence of a semi-hard scale in light hadrons. This includes the suppression of gluon radiation that is seen in high mass hadron diffraction; the weak energy dependence of hadronic total cross sections; the small value of the Pomeron trajectory slope measured in photoproduction of J/Ψ; the weakness of gluon shadowing in nuclei; shortage of gluons in t...
متن کاملClassical methods in DIS and nuclear scattering at small x
In hadrons and nuclei at very small x, parton distributions saturate at a scale Qs(x). Since the occupation number is large, and Qs(x) >> ΛQCD, classical weak coupling methods may be used to study this novel regime of non–linear classical fields in QCD. In these lectures, we apply these methods to compute structure functions in deeply inelastic scattering (DIS) and the energy density of gluons ...
متن کاملColor Glass Condensate in Qcd at High Energy
1 The Color Glass Condensate The main purpose of this talk is to convince you that high energy limit of QCD is the Color Glass Condensate. More precisely, when the energy of hadronic scattering is very large, the participating hadrons or nuclei behave not as usual states made of valence particles, but as new form of matter called the color glass condensate (CGC). This name is after the followin...
متن کاملQCD at small x and nucleus-nucleus collisions
At large collision energy √ s and relatively low momentum transfer Q, one expects a new regime of Quantum Chromo-Dynamics (QCD) known as “saturation”. This kinematical range is characterized by a very large occupation number for gluons inside hadrons and nuclei; this is the region where higher twist contributions are as large as the leading twist contributions incorporated in collinear factoriz...
متن کاملGeneralized parton distributions and strong forces inside nucleons and nuclei
We argue that generalized parton distributions (GPDs), accessible in hard exclusive processes, carry information about the spatial distribution of forces experienced by quarks and gluons inside hadrons. This way the measurements of hard exclusive processes open a possibility for direct “measurements” of strong forces in different parts of nucleons and nuclei. Also such studies open a venue for ...
