abstract
We study single inclusive hadron production in proton-proton and proton-nucleus collisions in the CGC framework. The parameters in the calculation are determined solely by standard nuclear geometry and by electron-proton deep inelastic scattering data, which is fit using the running coupling BK equation. We show that it is possible to obtain a good fit of the HERA inclusive cross section also without an anomalous dimension in the initial condition. We argue that one must consistently use the proton transverse area as measured by a high virtuality probe in DIS also for the single inclusive cross section in proton-proton and proton-nucleus collisions. We show that this leads to a midrapidity nuclear modification ratio R_pA that approaches unity at high transverse momentum independently of sqrt(s), in contrast to most CGC calculations in the literature. We also present predictions for future forward R_pA measurements at the LHC.

A Bayesian global fit at full NLO+NLL accuracy extracts the posterior distribution for the non-perturbative initial condition of the NLO Balitsky-Kovchegov equation from HERA inclusive and charm data.
A conservative BFKL-aware threshold matching scheme is constructed for the NLO forward jet vertex that resums ordinary endpoint logs, preserves NLO accuracy, and is tested against CMS azimuthal observables, showing internal consistency but no simultaneous improvement across all five moments.
MC-CGC simulations with rcBK evolution favor HERA-tuned MV^γ and MV^e initial conditions for LHCb forward hadron data, show kT factorization outperforming DHJ at mid-rapidity, and provide predictions for ALICE FoCal neutral mesons and jets.
Color dipole calculations of the ratio of exclusive vector meson to inclusive jet/hadron photoproduction cross sections in UPC pA and AA collisions at LHC Run 4, including the double ratio R_UPC proposed for saturation studies.
Predictions for vector meson production in light-nucleus UPCs show t-differential observables sensitive to nuclear structure models and saturation suppression that grows with nuclear mass and collision energy.
