abstract

We study the disappearance of the away-side peak of the di-hadron correlation function in p+A vs p+p collisions at forward rapidities, when the scaterring process presents a manifest dilute-dense asymmetry. We improve the state-of-the-art description of this phenomenon in the framework of the Color Glass Condensate (CGC), for hadrons produced nearly back-to-back. In that case, the gluon content of the saturated nuclear target can be described with transverse-momentum-dependent gluon distributions, whose small-$x$ evolution we calculate numerically by solving the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation with running coupling corrections. We first show that our formalism provides a good description of the disappearance of the away-side azimuthal correlations in d+Au collisions observed at BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) energies. Then, we predict the away-side peak of upcoming p+Au data at $~\sqrt[]{s}=200$ GeV to be suppressed by about a factor 2 with respect to p+p collisions, and we propose to study the rapidity dependence of that suppression as a complementary strong evidence of gluon saturation in experimental data.

    The gluon-initiated trijet channel in forward pA collisions is calculated at leading order in CGC, revealing a four-gluon vertex structure matching instantaneous terms and showing how rapidity and collinear divergence...

  3. Description of di-hadron saturation signals within a universal nuclear parton distribution function approach

    nucl-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Modern nuclear PDF sets can explain most of the forward di-hadron and di-jet suppression in p+A collisions without invoking gluon saturation, and naturally predict an unchanged azimuthal width.
