Extended Longitudinal Scaling: direct evidence of saturation
arXiv:1102.3921 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysa.2010.12.015
Abstract
Multiparticle production of charged particles at high energies exhibit the phenomenon of Limiting Fragmentation. Furthermore, the region in rapidity over which the production of particles appears to be independent of energy, increases with energy. It is argued that this phenomenon, known as Extended Longitudinal Scaling, is a direct manifestation of some kind of saturation, akin to that in the Color Glass Condensate picture of particle production.
