Transverse momentum imbalance of back-to-back particle production in p+A and e+A collisions
arXiv:1206.1826 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.86.094010
Abstract
We study the nuclear enhancement of the transverse momentum imbalance for back-to-back particle production in both p+A and e+A collisions. Specifically, we present results for photon+jet and photon+hadron production in p+A collisions, di-jet and di-hadron production in e+A collisions, and heavy-quark and heavy-meson pair production in both p+A and e+A collisions. We evaluate the effect of both initial-state and final-state multiple scattering, which determine the strength of the nuclear-induced transverse momentum imbalance in these processes. We give theoretical predictions for the experimentally relevant kinematic regions in d+Au collisions at RHIC, p+Pb collisions at LHC and e+A collisions at the future EIC and LHeC.
12 pages, 5 figures, all the figures for LHC are updated to p+Pb run at 5 TeV, version in Phys. Rev. D
