I compare the available theoretical models that describe the Cronin effect on hadron and minijet production in proton-nucleus collisions, pointing out similarities and differences among them. The effect may be summarized by the value of two variables. Their values computed in the different models are compared in the energy range 27.4 GeV 5500 GeV. Finally, I propose to use the pseudorapidity sy...

In this paper, we describe a GPU-accelerated implementation of a logic minimization heuristic based on the near minimal approach. This algorithm has three key kernel computations, and the current version of our implementation, we adapted one of these kernels for GPU execution. In this paper we report our results gained from using NVIDIA’s CUDA development framework and an NVIDIA Tesla GPUs, ach...
