Energy conservation and scaling violations in particle production

TL;DR

This paper demonstrates, using a Colour Glass Condensate/String Percolation Model, that energy conservation imposes bounds on the violation of Feynman scaling and limiting fragmentation in particle production.

Contribution

It introduces a model-based argument showing how energy conservation constrains scaling violations in high-energy particle collisions.

Findings

Bounds on Feynman scaling violation established

Limits on limiting fragmentation violation derived

Energy conservation plays a key role in particle production models

Abstract

We use a simple Colour Glass Condensate/String Percolation Model argument to show the existence, due to energy conservation, of bounds to the violation of Feynman scaling and limiting fragmentation.
