Gluonic nucleon energy correlators and fracture functions for Color Glass Condensate

Heikki Mäntysaari, Yu Shi, Yossathorn Tawabutr +1

Nucleon energy correlators (NECs) and fracture functions provide novel tools for probing nucleon and nuclear structure at small through measurements in the target fragmentation…

Next-to-leading order evolution of structure functions without PDFs

Tuomas Lappi, Heikki Mäntysaari, Hannu Paukkunen +1

We formulate and numerically solve the Dokshitzer-Gribov-Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi~(DGLAP) evolution equations at next-to-leading order in perturbation theory directly for a basis o…

Heavy flavor angular correlations as a direct probe of the glasma

Dana Avramescu, Vincenzo Greco, Tuomas Lappi +2

We use classical equations of motion for heavy quarks to show that the pre-equilibrium glasma phase of a heavy ion collision has an extremely strong effect on heavy quark angular c…

The impact of glasma on heavy flavor azimuthal correlations and spectra

Dana Avramescu, Vincenzo Greco, Tuomas Lappi +2

We study the phenomenological impact of the pre-equilibrium glasma initial stage of heavy-ion collisions on heavy quark azimuthal correlations and spectra. Using our numerical solv…

Finite-size effects on small- evolution and saturation in proton and nuclear targets

Heikki Mäntysaari, Jani Penttala, Farid Salazar +1

Within the Color Glass Condensate effective field theory, we assess the importance of including a finite size for the target on observables sensitive to small- evolution. To thi…

Stronger -odd color charge correlations in the proton at higher energy

Adrian Dumitru, Heikki Mäntysaari, Risto Paatelainen

The non-forward eikonal scattering matrix for dipole-proton scattering at high energy obtains an imaginary part due to a -odd three gluon exchange. We present numerical estimate…
