We present the current theory status on the particle productions in the forward region in proton-nucleus collisions based on the Color Glass Condensate framework. We use the factorized formula, where the proton is described with the collinear parton distributions while the nuclear side with the unintegrated gluon distributions (uGD). The uGD is obtained from the x-evolution equations and...

19. Unstable dynamics of Yang-Mills fields at early times of heavy ion collisions

Andreas Ipp (V)

The quark gluon plasma as produced in heavy ion collisions is exposed to early anisotropies in momentum space due to its rapid expansion. Such anisotropies can lead to unstable gluonic modes that can grow exponentially fast. In this talk, I present the 3+1 dimensional simulations of non-Abelian plasma instabilities. The simulations are based on gaugecovariant Boltzmann-Vlasov equations that...

13. Gluon saturation at higher orders and improvement of kinematics

Dr Guillaume Beuf (Universidade de Santiago de Compostela)

16/07/2012, 16:30

The first part of the talk will be a brief overview of some recent theoretical progresses about DIS and pA processes within the Color Glass Condensate effective theory and related formalisms, in particular concerning higher order calculations. Then, I will present new results concerning the improvement of the treatment of kinematics in high-energy evolution equations like the...
