We consider hadron production in deuteron gold collisions at RHIC in the forward rapidity region. Treating the target nucleus as a Color Glass Condensate and the projectile deuteron as a dilute system of valence quarks, we obtain good agreement with the BRAHMS minimum bias data on charged hadron production in the forward rapidity (y = 3.2) and low pt region. We provide predictions for neutral p...

Abstract. We discuss the production of charmonium states in antiproton-nucleus collisions at the ψ ′ threshold. It is explained that measurements in p̄A collisions will allow to get new information about the strengths of the inelastic J/ψN and ψ N interaction, on the production of Λc and D̄ in charmonium-nucleon interactions and for the first time about the nondiagonal transitions ψ N → J/ψN. The...

We calculate the inclusive J/Ψ production in heavy ion collisions including the effects of gluon saturation in the wave functions of the colliding nuclei. We argue that the dominant production mechanism in proton–nucleus and nucleus–nucleus collisions for heavy nuclei is different from the one in hadron-hadron interactions. We find that the rapidity distribution of primary J/Ψ production is mor...
