Probing colored glass via qbar{q} photoproduction
read the original abstract
In this paper, we calculate the cross-section for the photoproduction of quark-antiquark pairs in the peripheral collision of ultra-relativistic nuclei, by treating the color field of the nuclei within the Color Glass Condensate model. We find that this cross-section is sensitive to the saturation scale $Q_s^2$ that characterizes the model. In particular, the transverse momentum spectrum of the produced pairs could be used to measure the properties of the color glass condensate.

3D Initial-State Dynamics across scales: A Comparative Study of saturation and string-based descriptions
Comparison of SMASH and McDipper initial condition models shows agreement in longitudinal deposition at lower energies but substantial differences in energy and baryon deposition at higher center-of-mass energies.
