Strong color fields and heavy flavor production
arXiv:1009.5843 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevC.82.034912
Abstract
The clustering of color sources provides a natural framework for soft partonic interactions producing strong color fields. We study the consequences of these color fields in the production of heavy flavor and the behavior of the nuclear modification factor.
