Dilepton production from the Color Glass Condensate
نویسنده
چکیده
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 sensitive to the saturation scale characterizing the target nucleus.

Electromagnetic Signatures of the Color Glass Condensate: Dileptons
We evaluate the invariant cross section for production of dileptons in forward rapidities at RHIC and LHC, using the Color Glass Condensate formalism and present results for the nuclear modification factor Rd(p)A as a function of dilepton invariant mass for the most central deuteron (proton)-nucleus collisions.
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...
متن کاملHadronic scattering in the Color Glass Condensate
Multi-particle production in QCD is dominated by higher twist contributions. The operator product expansion is not very effective here because the number of relevant operators grow rapidly with increasing twist. The Color Glass Condensate (CGC) provides a framework in QCD to systematically discuss “classical” (multiple scattering) and “quantum” evolution (shadowing) effects in multi-particle pr...
متن کاملThe Color Glass Condensate and the Glasma: Two Lectures
These two lectures concern the Color Glass Condensate and the Glasma. These are forms of matter which might be studied in high energy hadronic collisions. The Color Glass Condensate is high energy density gluonic matter. It constitutes the part of a hadron wavefunction important for high energy processes. The Glasma is matter produced from the Color Glass Condensate in the first instants after ...
متن کاملParticle production and AGK relations in the Color Glass Condensate picture
In this talk, we discuss some general properties of particle production in a field theory coupled to strong time dependent sources, and techniques to compute the spectrum of the produced particles in such theories. We also discuss the application of these results to the description of hadron or heavy ion collisions in the Color Glass Condensate framework.
