Kirill Tuchin
TL;DR
This paper models forward hadron production in high-energy proton-nucleus collisions at RHIC and LHC, analyzing how nuclear effects vary with rapidity and transverse momentum using the KKT gluon saturation model.
Contribution
It applies the KKT gluon saturation model to predict meson production at RHIC and LHC energies, extending previous models to high-energy nuclear collisions.
Findings
Nuclear modification factor varies with rapidity and transverse momentum.
Model successfully describes meson production data at RHIC and LHC.
Highlights the importance of gluon saturation effects in high-energy pA collisions.
Abstract
We present a calculation of Pi, D and B mesons production at RHIC and LHC energies based upon the KKT model of gluon saturation. We discuss dependence of the nuclear modification factor on rapidity and transverse momentum.
