Photon + Hadron Production in High Energy Deuteron (Proton)-Nucleus Collisions
We apply the Color Glass Condensate formalism to photon + hadron production cross section in high energy deuteron (proton)-gold collisions at RHIC. We investigate the dependence of the production cross section on the angle between the produced hadron and photon for various rapidities and transverse momenta. It is shown that the angular correlation between the produced hadron and photon is a sen...
متن کاملPhoton production in high energy proton-nucleus collisions
We calculate the photon production cross-section in pA collisions under the assumption that the nucleus has reached the saturation regime, while the proton can be described by the standard parton distribution functions. We show that due to the strong classical field O(1/g) of the nucleus, bremsstrahlung diagrams become dominant over the direct photon diagrams. In particular, we show that γ−jet ...
متن کاملMomentum Loss in Proton-Nucleus and Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions
An optical model description, based on multiple scattering theory, of longitudinal momentum loss in proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions is presented. The crucial role of the imaginary component of the nucleon-nucleon transition matrix in accounting for longitudinal momentum transfer is demonstrated. Results obtained with this model are compared with Intranuclear Cascade (INC) calculat...
متن کاملPhotoproduction of quarkonium in proton-proton and nucleus-nucleus collisions.
We discuss the photoproduction of Upsilon and J/psi at high energy pp, pp, and heavy ion colliders. We predict large rates in pp interactions at the Fermilab Tevatron and in pp and heavy ion interactions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The J/psi is also produced copiously at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. These reactions can be used to study the gluon distribution in protons and heavy ...
متن کاملPhoton Exchange in Nucleus-nucleus Collisions
The strong electromagnetic fields in peripheral heavy ion collisions give rise to photon-photon and photon-nucleus interactions. I present a general survey of the photon-photon and photon-hadron physics accessible in these collisions. Among these processes I discuss the nuclear fragmentation through the excitation of giant resonances, the Coulomb dissociation method for application in nuclear a...
