Photon + Hadron Production in High Energy Deuteron (Proton)-Nucleus Collisions
نویسنده
چکیده
We apply the Color Glass Condensate formalism to photon + hadron production cross section in high energy deuteron (proton)-gold collisions at RHIC. We investigate the dependence of the production cross section on the angle between the produced hadron and photon for various rapidities and transverse momenta. It is shown that the angular correlation between the produced hadron and photon is a sensitive probe of the saturation dynamics.

We investigate rapidity dependence of the ratio of photon and pion production cross sections in high energy proton (deuteron) nucleus collisions at RHIC and LHC. This ratio, and its rapidity dependence can be a sensitive probe of high density QCD (Color Glass Condensate) dynamics and shed further light on the role of saturation physics at RHIC and LHC. ar X iv :n uc lth /0 70 30 69 v1 2 2 M ar ...
متن کاملLimiting fragmentation in hadron-hadron collisions at high energies
Limiting fragmentation in proton-proton, deuteron-nucleus and nucleusnucleus collisions is analyzed in the framework of the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation in high energy QCD. Good agreement with experimental data is obtained for a wide range of energies. Further detailed tests of limiting fragmentation at RHIC and the LHC will provide insight into the evolution equations for high energy QCD.
متن کاملCentral exclusive diffractive Higgs boson production in hadron-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions at the LHC
In this paper, it is shown that in hadron-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions, the main source for central exclusive diffractive Higgs production is photon-photon fusion. At the LHC energy, the total cross section for this process is about 0.6 pb (for proton-gold scattering), and 3.9 nb (for gold-gold collision) while the gluon-gluon fusion leads to the value of the cross section for CED Hig...
متن کاملDeuteron Photodissociation in Ultraperipheral Relativistic Heavy-Ion on Deuteron Collisions
In ultraperipheral relativistic deuteron on heavy-ion collisions, a photon emitted from the heavy nucleus may dissociate the deuterium ion. We find deuterium breakup cross sections of 1.38 barns for deuterium-gold collisions at a center of mass energy of 200 GeV per nucleon, as studied at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, and 2.49 barns for deuterium-lead collisions at a center of mass energ...
متن کاملFrom RHIC to EIC: Nuclear Structure Functions
We study the nuclear structure function FA 2 and its logarithmic derivative in the high energy limit (small x region) using the Color Glass Condensate formalism. In this limit the structure function F2 depends on the quark anti-quark dipole-target scattering cross section NF (xbj , rt, bt). The same dipole cross section appears in single hadron and hadron-photon production cross sections in the...
