abstract
We consider one loop corrections to single inclusive particle production in parton-nucleus scattering at high energies, treating the target nucleus as a Color Glass Condensate. We prove by explicit computation that in the leading log Q^2 approximation, these corrections lead to collinear factorization and DGLAP evolution of the projectile parton distribution and hadron fragmentation functions. At leading logarithmic level, and in single-inclusive cross sections, only two-point functions of Wilson lines in the adjoint and fundamental representations (Mueller's dipoles) arise, which can be obtained from the solution of the JIMWLK equations. The application of our results to forward-rapidity production at RHIC energy shows that, in general, recoil effects are large and that the forward rapidity region at RHIC is rather different from the central region at LHC, despite comparable gluon densities in the target. We show that both the quantum x-evolution of the high-density target as well as the DGLAP Q^2-evolution of the parton distribution and fragmentation functions are clearly seen in the BRAHMS data. This provides additional strong evidence for the Color Glass Condensate at RHIC.

Analytical CGC amplitudes and cross sections for forward g o q¯qg and g o ggg trijet production in pA collisions are obtained, with rapidity and collinear divergences shown to match JIMWLK and DGLAP evolution.
After Q_s-adaptive coarse graining, conditional gluon Husimi momentum distributions from fixed-coupling SO(3)-BK evolution collapse as functions of k/Q_s(Y,b), with conditional entropy growing at unit slope versus ⟨ln Q_s²⟩.
One-loop quark TMD calculation in projectile light-cone gauge produces CSS evolution equations whose rapidity structure is compared to the target gauge result.
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.
