abstract

We calculate gluon production in deep inelastic scattering of the current j= - (1/4) F_{\mu\nu}^a F_{\mu\nu}^a off a large nucleus and in nucleon-nucleus collisions. In a covariant gauge calculation the transverse momentum spectrum of the gluon is determined by the final state interactions of the gluon with the nucleons in the nucleus. In a light-cone gauge calculation final state interactions are absent and these effects come from the light-cone wavefunction of the nucleus. We work in an approximation which neglects QCD evolution of gluons in the nucleon, that is in a quasi-classical approximation.

On the Two $R$-Factors in the Small-$x$ Shockwave Formalism

hep-ph · 2026-04-27 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Replacing the rapidity argument of the dipole amplitude with ln min{1/|x|, 1/|ξ|} and refining initial conditions for non-linear evolution can eliminate two R-factors in small-x shockwave calculations.

    BEDA kinetic evolution washes out initial azimuthal anisotropies with higher harmonics relaxing faster and shifts the pT peak of vn upward, qualitatively matching small-system data.
