K.J. Eskola
TL;DR
This paper reviews recent findings on minijet production in heavy ion collisions at RHIC and LHC, discussing initial QGP conditions, parton chemistry, thermalization, and contributions from BFKL-pomeron ladders.
Contribution
It provides a comprehensive review of minijet production and initial QGP conditions, including new estimates of minijet contributions from BFKL-pomeron ladders.
Findings
Minijet production is significant at RHIC and LHC energies.
Initial QGP conditions involve specific parton chemistry and thermalization times.
Minijet contributions from BFKL-pomeron ladders are quantitatively estimated.
Abstract
Recent results on minijet production in nuclear collisions at the RHIC and LHC energies are reviewed. Initial conditions of the QGP at fm, especially parton chemistry, thermalization and net baryon number-to-entropy ratio are discussed. Also, contribution of minijets from a hard BFKL-pomeron ladder will be estimated.
