Theoretical developments on the initial state in relativistic particle collisions

Heikki Mäntysaari

We discuss recent progress towards developing accurate initial state descriptions for heavy ion collisions focusing on weak coupling based approaches, that enable one to constrain…

Probing nuclear structure at the Electron-Ion Collider and in ultra-peripheral nuclear collisions

Heikki Mäntysaari, Farid Salazar, Björn Schenke +2

Within the Color Glass Condensate framework, we demonstrate that exclusive vector meson production at high energy is sensitive to the geometric deformation of the target nucleus an…

Effects of nuclear structure and quantum interference on diffractive vector meson production in ultra-peripheral nuclear collisions

Heikki Mäntysaari, Farid Salazar, Björn Schenke +2

We study diffractive vector meson production in ultra-peripheral collisions (UPCs) of heavy nuclei, utilizing a theoretical framework based on the Color Glass Condensate (CGC) form…

Multi-scale Imaging of Nuclear Deformation at the Electron Ion Collider

Heikki Mäntysaari, Björn Schenke, Chun Shen +1

We show within the Color Glass Condensate framework that exclusive vector meson production at high energy is sensitive to the geometric deformation of the target nucleus at multipl…

Multi-gluon correlations and evidence of saturation from dijet measurements at an Electron Ion Collider

Heikki Mäntysaari, Niklas Mueller, Farid Salazar +1

We study inclusive and diffractive dijet production in electron-proton and electron-nucleus collisions within the Color Glass Condensate effective field theory. We compute dijet cr…

Systematics of strong nuclear amplification of gluon saturation from exclusive vector meson production in high energy electron-nucleus collisions

Heikki Mäntysaari, Raju Venugopalan

We show that gluon saturation gives rise to a strong modification of the scaling in both the nuclear mass number and the virtuality of the vector meson production cross-s…
