Energy evolution of J/$\mathbf{\psi}$ production in DIS on nuclei

TL;DR

This paper develops a theoretical framework for J/ψ production in deep inelastic scattering on nuclei, incorporating Bose-Einstein correlations and shadowing effects to understand energy evolution and saturation phenomena in high-energy QCD.

Contribution

It introduces a generalized non-linear evolution equation for dipole scattering amplitudes that includes Bose-Einstein enhancement and shadowing corrections, extending the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation.

Findings

Bose-Einstein correlations increase the anomalous dimension.

Shadowing corrections generate a survival probability that suppresses amplitude growth.

The evolution equation describes two dipole scattering in nuclear DIS across different kinematic regions.

Abstract

In this paper we show, that the $J/\psi$ production in DIS, is the main source of information about the events with two parton shower production. We attempt to develop our theoretical acumen of this process, to a level compatible with the theoretical description of inclusive DIS. We revisit the problem of the linear evolution equation for the double gluon densities, and include Bose-Einstein enhancement to these equations. We find that the Bose-Einstein correlations lead to an increase of the anomalous dimension, which turns out to be suppressed as $1/(N^2_c -1)^2$, in agreement with the estimates for the twist four anomalous dimension. We believe that understanding what happens to these contributions at ultra high energies, is a key question for an effective theory, based on high energy QCD. We derive the evolution equation for the scattering amplitude of two dipoles with a nucleus, taking into account the shadowing corrections, and investigate the analytical solutions in two distinct kinematic regions: deep in the saturation region, and in the vicinity of the saturation scale. The suggested non-linear evolution equation is a direct generalization of the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation, which has to be solved with the initial condition that depends on the saturation scale $Q_s(Y=Y_0,b)$. With the goal of finding a new small parameter, it is instructive to compare the solution of the non-linear equation with the qusi-classical approximation, in which in the initial condition we replace $Q_s(Y=Y_0,b)$ by $Q_s(Y,b)$. Our final result is that the shadowing corrections in the elastic amplitude generate the survival probability, which suppresses the growth of the amplitude with energy, caused by the Bose-Einstein enhancement.
