Coherent and incoherent diffractive hadron production in pA collisions and gluon saturation
Kirill Tuchin
We study coherent and incoherent diffractive hadron production in high energy quarkonium--heavy nucleus collisions as a probe of the gluon saturation regime of QCD. Taking this pro…
Broken scale invariance, massless dilaton and confinement in QCD
Dmitri Kharzeev, Eugene Levin, Kirill Tuchin
Classical conformal invariance of QCD in the chiral limit is broken explicitly by scale anomaly. As a result, the lightest scalar particle (scalar glueball, or dilaton) in QCD is n…
J/Psi production in heavy ion collisions and gluon saturation
Dmitri Kharzeev, Eugene Levin, Marzia Nardi +1
We calculate the inclusive J/Psi production in heavy ion collisions including the effects of gluon saturation in the wave functions of the colliding nuclei. We argue that the domin…
Gluon saturation effects on J/Psi production in heavy ion collisions
Dmitri Kharzeev, Eugene Levin, Marzia Nardi +1
We consider a novel mechanism for J/Psi production in nuclear collisions arising due to the high density of gluons. We calculate the resulting J/Psi production cross section as a f…
Probing the low-x structure of nuclear matter with diffractive hadron production in pA collisions
Yang Li, Kirill Tuchin
We argue that hadron production in coherent diffraction of proton on a heavy nucleus provides a very sensitive probe of the low-x QCD dynamics. This process probes the BFKL dynamic…
Spectrum of diffractively produced gluons in onium-nucleus collisions
Yang Li, Kirill Tuchin
We calculate spectrum of diffractively produced gluons in onium-heavy nucleus collisions at high energies. We show that it exhibits a characteristic dependence on nucleus atomic nu…
