Two Gluon Production and Longitudinal Correlations in the Color Glass Condensate
نویسندگان
چکیده
We derive an analytical expression for the two-gluon production in the pA (lightheavy) collisions, and focus specifically on the rapidity dependent part. We approximate the gauge field from the heavy target as the Color Glass Condensate which interacts with the light projectile whose source density allows for a perturbative expansion. We discuss the longitudinal correlations of produced particles. Our calculation goes in part beyond the eikonal limit for the emitted gluons so that we can retain the exponential terms with respect to the rapidity difference. Our expression can thus describe the short-range correlations as well as the long-range ones for which our formula is reduced to the known expression. In a special case of two highpt gluons in the back-to-back kinematics we find that dependence on the rapidity separation is only moderate even in the diagrammatically connected part.

Gluon Saturation and the Formation Stage of Heavy Ion Collisions
The high energy limit of QCD is controlled by very high energy density gluonic matter, the Color Glass Condensate. In the first instants of the collisions of two sheets of Colored Glass Condensate, a Glasma is formed with longitudinal flux tubes of color electric and color magnetic fields. These flux tubes decay and might form a turbulent liquid that eventually thermalizes into a Quark Gluon Pl...
متن کاملProton-nucleus Collisions in the Color Glass Condensate Framework
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 v...

We study gluon production in high energy proton-nucleus collisions in the semi-classical framework of the Color Glass Condensate. We develop a general formalism to compute gluon fields in covariant gauge to lowest order in the classical field of the proton and to all orders in the classical field of the nucleus. The use of the covariant gauge makes the diagrammatic interpretation of the solutio...

The purpose of these lectures is to provide an introduction to the physics issues which are being studied in the RHIC heavy ion program. These center around the production of new states of matter. The Quark Gluon Plasma is thermal matter which once existed in the big bang which may be made at RHIC. The Color Glass Condensate is a universal form of matter which controls the high energy limit of ...

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...
