CGC initial conditions at RHIC and LHC

Abstract

Monte-Carlo implementations of kT -factorization formula with both KLN and running-coupling BK unintegrated gluon distributions for nucleus-nucleus collisions are used to analyze recent experimental data on the particle multiplicities from RHIC(Au+Au@200GeV) and LHC([email protected]). We also compare the predicted transverse energy at midrapidity to new data from ALICE.
