Heavy ions and parton saturation from RHIC to LHC
نویسنده
چکیده
The phenomenology of gluon saturation at small parton momentum fraction, Bjorken-x, in the proton and in the nucleus is introduced. The experimentally-accessible kinematic domains at the nucleus–nucleus colliders RHIC and LHC are discussed. Finally, the saturation hints emerging from measurements at RHIC and the perspectives for LHC are described.

Semi-hard Scatterings at Rhic and Lhc: Initial Conditions and Charged Multiplicities
Minijet production in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions is discussed by taking semi-hard parton rescatterings explicitly into account. At both RHIC and LHC energies we find sizable effects on global characteristics of the nuclear collision like the initial multiplicity and transverse energy of the minijets. The dependence of these quantities on the cutoff that separates soft and hard inte...
متن کاملColor Strings, Pomerons and Color Glass Condensate
In the recent experiments like DIS at HERA or the heavy-ion experiments at RHIC, and also in expected LHC at CERN, the number of involved partons is very large, due to the high energy and/or the high number of participants of those experiments. These high parton densities should in principal lead to an extremely huge multiparticle production, but experimentally we have seen that this is not the...

متن کاملSoft-hadronic Observables for Relativistic Heavy-ion Collisions at Rhic and Lhc * * *
The relativistic hydrodynamics together with the single-freeze-out statistical hadronization model is used to describe the midrapidity hadron production in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and LHC. At the highest RHIC energy our approach gives a quite satisfactory global description of soft hadronic observables including the HBT radii. With the increased initial energy, from RHIC...
متن کاملParticle multiplicities in nuclear collisions at the LHC from saturation physics
The inclusion of running coupling effects in the BK-JIMWLK evolution equations considerably reduces the energy dependence of the saturation scale with respect to previous estimates based on fits to HERA data. We discuss how such slowdown affects the expectations for particle multiplicities in Pb-Pb collisions at LHC energies. Our prediction is based on the use of kt-factorization and on the use...
