abstract

We consider the implications of the Color Glass Condensate for the central region of p+A collisions. We compute the k_t distribution of radiated gluons and their rapidity distribution dN/dy analytically, both in the perturbative regime and in the region between the two saturation momenta. We find an analytic expression for the number of produced gluons which is valid when the saturation momentum of the proton is much less than that of the nucleus. We discuss the scaling of the produced multiplicity with A. We show that the slope of the rapidity density dN/dy provides an experimental measure for the renormalization-group evolution of the color charge density of the Color Glass Condensate (CGC). We also argue that these results are easily generalized to collisions of nuclei of different A at central rapidity, or with the same A but at a rapidity far from the central region.

(3+1)D event-by-event pre-equilibrium dynamics in heavy-ion collisions

hep-ph · 2025-12-08 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Extension of KoMPoST to (3+1)D non-boost-invariant pre-equilibrium dynamics via kinetic theory response functions, chained into a full McDIPPER+KoMPoST-3D+CLVisc+SMASH simulation chain to study sensitivity of longitudinal flow to hydrodynamic start time.

Squeezed-state radiation in shockwave scattering: QCD-Gravity double copy

hep-th · 2026-05-04 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

The n-particle gluon radiation spectrum in shockwave scattering is a generalized Susskind-Glogower squeezed coherent state, and multi-graviton radiation follows similarly via double copy, with feasible large squeezing parameters ~ln(n_bar) leading to enhanced quantum noise in gravitational wave sp
