  1. 134. Thermalization and Possible Bose-Einstein Condensation in Over-populated Glasma

    New theoretical developments
    Oral Presentation
    We report on a recently proposed scenario for thermalization of hot QCD matter after the "Little Bang" in heavy ion collisions. A distinctive feature of the pre-equilibrium system (the Glasma) is the high over-population of phase space for gluons, which we argue plays a central role for the thermalization of the Quark-Gluon Plasma. In particular, the over-population (1) coherently amplifies...

  2. 43. A New Mechanism for Generating a Single Transverse Spin Asymmetry
    Mr Matthew Sievert (The Ohio State University)

    New theoretical developments
    Oral Presentation
    We propose a new mechanism for generating a single transverse spin asymmetry (STSA) in polarized proton-proton and proton-nucleus collisions in the high-energy scattering approximation. In this framework the STSA originates from the q -> q G splitting in the projectile (proton) light-cone wave function followed by a perturbative (C-odd) odderon interaction, together with a C-even...

  3. 566. Drell-Yan Lepton-Pair-Jet Correlation in pA collisions
    David Zaslavsky (Penn State University)
    17/08/2012, 14:40
    Oral Presentation
    We have recently performed a numerical study of the forward correlations between the lepton-pair and associated hadrons in Drell-Yan process in pA collisions. Using the present knowledge of the dipole gluon distribution from the modified Golec-Biernat-Wusthoff model and from the solution of the Balitsky-Kovchegov evolution equation, we are able to compute and predict the forward correlations...

  4. 527. The NLO inclusive forward hadron production in pA collisions
    Dr Bowen Xiao
    17/08/2012, 15:00
    Oral Presentation
    Recently, by performing the complete next-to-leading order calculation, we have demonstrated the one-loop factorization for inclusive hadron productions in pA collisions in the saturation formalism. The differential cross section is written into a factorization form in the coordinate space at the next-to-leading order, while the naive form of the convolution in the transverse momentum space...

  5. 559. Dijet Correlations in the Forward pA (eA) Collisions to Map the Phase Structure of Cold Nuclei Matter at Small-x
    Feng Yuan (LBNL)
    17/08/2012, 15:20
    Oral Presentation
    As the foundation of high energy hadronic physics, QCD factorization enables us to separate the short distance perturbative physics from the long distance non-perturbative effects. Its prediction power relies on the universality of the parton distributions among different processes. In our recent publication [1], we established an effective factorization in hard processes in nuclei scattered...

  6. 204. Influence of initial state fluctuations on the production of thermal photons
    Dr Rupa Chatterjee (University of Jyväskylä)

    Electroweak probes
    Oral Presentation
    Thermal emission of photons from relativistic heavy ion collisions is believed to have a very strong temperature dependence and the high p_T thermal photons are expected to provide a glimpse of the early part of the expansion history when the system is still in the plasma phase. Photons having p_T > 1 GeV/c are thus specially suitable for probing fluctuations in the initial QCD matter density...
