Shadowing of gluons in perturbative QCD: A comparison of different models
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the different perturbative QCD-based models for nuclear shadowing of gluons. We show that in the kinematic region appropriate to RHIC experiment, all models give similar estimates for the magnitude of gluon shadowing. At scales relevant to LHC, there is a sizable difference between predictions of the different models.

Nonperturbative Effects in Gluon Radiation and Photoproduction of Quark Pairs
We introduce a nonperturbative interaction for light-cone fluctuations containing quarks and gluons. The q̄q interaction squeezes the transverse size of these fluctuations in the photon and one does not need to simulate this effect via effective quark masses. The strength of this interaction is fixed by data. Data on diffractive dissociation of hadrons and photons show that the nonperturbative i...
متن کاملReview of Theory Talks at Xxix International Symposium on Multiparticle Dynamics
The main trend in theoretical applications of QCD to processes of multiparticle production during recent years, which was well presented at this Symposium, can be summarised as: ”From small to large distances or an interplay of perturbative and nonperturbative aspects of QCD”. The basis of QCD is rather well established now by a comparison of its predictions with experiments sensitive to small ...

We calculate the shadowing of sea quarks and gluons and show that the shadowing of gluons is not simply given by the sea quark shadowing, especially at small x. The calculations are done in the lab frame approach by using the generalized vector meson dominance model. Here the virtual photon turns into a hadronic fluctuation long before the nucleus. The subsequent coherent interaction with more ...
متن کاملNon-equilibrium initial conditions from pQCD for RHIC and LHC
We calculate the initial non-equilibrium conditions from perturbative QCD (pQCD) within Glauber multiple scattering theory for √ s = 200 AGeV and √ s = 5.5 ATeV. At the soon available collider energies one will particularly test the small x region of the parton distributions entering the cross sections. Therefore shadowing effects, previously more or less unimportant, will lead to new effects o...
متن کاملPerturbative gluon shadowing in heavy nuclei.
We study how much gluon shadowing can be perturbatively generated through the modified QCD evolution in heavy nuclei. The evolution of small-x gluons is investigated within the semiclassical approximation. The method of characteristics is used to evaluate the shadowed distributions in low-Q and small-x region. In solving the modified evolution equation, we model in simultaneously fusions from i...
