Gluon production in the color glass condensate model of collisions of ultrarelativistic finite nuclei

TLDR
In this paper, the authors extend previous work on high energy nuclear collisions in the Color Glass Condensate model to study collisions of finite ultrarelativistic nuclei, and show that the gluon distribution in the nuclear wavefunction before the collision is significantly suppressed below the saturation scale when compared to the simple McLerran-Venugopalan model prediction, while the behavior at large momentum p T ⪢ Λ s remains unchanged.

Quantum Chromodynamics at High Energy

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the physics of strong interactions in a universal way, making it useful for physicists from various subcommunities of high energy and nuclear physics, and applicable to processes studied at all high energy accelerators around the world.

Impact parameter dipole saturation model

TL;DR: In this paper, a dipole model for DESY HERA deep inelastic scattering data was developed, which incorporates the impact parameter distribution of the proton and showed that the t distributions are sensitive to saturation phenomena.

Production of gluons in the classical field model for heavy ion collisions

TL;DR: In this paper, the initial stages of relativistic heavy ion collisions are studied numerically in the framework of a $(2+1)$-dimensional classical Yang-Mills theory.

The color glass condensate and hadron production in the forward region

TL;DR: In this paper, one loop corrections to single-inclusive particle production in parton-nucleus scattering at high energies are considered, treating the target nucleus as a color glass condensate.

Semihard processes in QCD

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of parton-parton interactions (screenings), that stop the increase of the cross sections near their unitarity limit, and the coherent emission of soft gluons by the global colour charge of whole groups of harder particles, are studied in detail.

High-energy physics event generation with PYTHIA 6.1

TL;DR: Pythia version 6 represents a merger of the Pythia 5, Jetset 7 and SPythia programs, with many improvements as discussed by the authors, which can be used to generate high-energy physics events.

Computing quark and gluon distribution functions for very large nuclei.

TL;DR: It is argued that the distribution functions for quarks and gluons are computable at small {ital x} for sufficiently large nuclei, perhaps larger than can be physically realized, and that weak coupling methods may be used.

Hamiltonian Formulation of Wilson's Lattice Gauge Theories

TL;DR: Wilson's lattice gauge model is presented as a canonical Hamiltonian theory and the structure of the model is reduced to the interactions of an infinite collection of coupled rigid rotators as mentioned in this paper.
