A simple evolution equation for rapidity distributions in nucleus-nucleus collisions

Abstract

We explore the relationship between the Glasma framework and the String Percolation Model by introducing a simple model for the rapidity distributions in nucleus-nucleus collisions. The model is solved for both symmetrical and asymmetrical collisions. The phenomenon of limiting fragmentation is briefly discussed.
