چکیده
Gribov's inelastic shadowing makes nuclei more transparent and reduce nuclear cross sections, especially when QCD dynamics (color transparency) is at work. This effect steeply rising with energy has an important impact on the recent results for high-p T hadron production at RHIC. Only the shape of p T-dependence of the d − Au to pp ratio was measured, but the absolute value was calculated. Those calculations are subject to serious corrections: (i) the nuclear inelastic cross section should be considerably reduced due to inelastic shadowing which we evaluate in the light-cone color-dipole formalism. The strong saturation effects proposed by Kharzeev-Levin-McLerran imply such a strong Gribov's shadowing for the inelastic d − Au cross section, that the renormalized measured ratio should agree with the suppression of high-p T hadrons predicted by this model; (ii) further reduction of the nuclear cross section is related to the specific triggering which misses diffractive excitations of the deuteron and gold. We employ the color-dipole approach to evaluate the cross section of those channels; (iii) diffractive part should be subtracted also from the proton-proton inelastic cross section which reduces it from 42 mb down to 30 mb. As a result, all experimental results which use this cross section for normalization should be revised. In particular, data for high-p T hadron suppression in gold-gold collisions must be renormalized by factor 1.4.

Using an isospin-dependent transport model for heavy-ion collisions induced by neutron-rich nuclei at intermediate energies, we study the production of light clusters such as deuteron, triton, and He via coalescence of nucleons. We find that both the yields and energy spectra of these light clusters are affected significantly by the density dependence of nuclear symmetry energy, with a stiffer ...

The current normalization of the cross section of inclusive high-p T particle production in deuteron-gold collisions measured at RHIC relies on Glauber model calculations for the inelastic dAu cross section. These calculations should be corrected for diffrac-tion. Moreover, they miss the Gribov's inelastic shadowing which makes nuclei more transparent (color transparency) and reduce the inelast...
