The effect of the fluctuating proton size on the study of chiral magnetic effect in proton-nucleus collisions

Dmitri Kharzeev, Zhoudunming Tu, Aobo Zhang +1

High energy proton-nucleus (pA) collisions provide an important constraint on the study of the chiral magnetic effect in QCD matter. Naively, in pA collisions one expects no correl…

Systematics of strong nuclear amplification of gluon saturation from exclusive vector meson production in high energy electron-nucleus collisions

Heikki Mäntysaari, Raju Venugopalan

We show that gluon saturation gives rise to a strong modification of the scaling in both the nuclear mass number and the virtuality of the vector meson production cross-s…

Drag Induced Radiation and Multi-Stage Effects in Heavy-Flavor Energy Loss

Shanshan Cao, Abhijit Majumder, Guang-You Qin +1

It is argued that heavy-quarks traversing a Quark Gluon Plasma, undergo a multi-stage modification process, similar to the case of light flavors. Such an approach is applied to hea…
