Small-x Physics with the ALICE experiment at the CERN-LHC

Abstract

High energy p-p, p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions at the CERN-LHC offer unprecedented opportunities for studying wide variety of physics at small Bjorken-x. Here we discuss capabilities of the ALICE experiment at the CERN-LHC for probing small-x QCD physics. A new forward electromagnetic calorimeter is being proposed as an ALICE upgrade to explore the small-x region in more detail.

Prepared for the Workshop on "Saturation, the Color Glass Condensate and Glasma: What Have we Learned from RHIC?" - to be published in Nucl. Phys. A
