Pre-equilibrium and Initial State Physics
I am going to overview recent studies of saturation effects in the production of forward dijets in proton-lead
collisions at the Large Hadron Collider, using the framework of High Energy Factorizations. Such
configurations, with both jets produced in the forward direction, probe the gluon density of the lead nucleus
at small longitudinal momentum fraction, and also limit the phase space for...

With a foundation of almost two decades of theoretical research, the gluon saturation formalism is widely considered a strong candidate to describe the behavior of small-$x$ gluons in high-energy collisions. However, the formalism has proven difficult to test. There is a pressing need for precise numerical results from the saturation formalism to use in comparisons with collider...

Heavy Flavor and Quarkonia Production
We consider heavy quark pair production in high energy pp and pA collisions from the Color Glass Condensate (CGC) framework. The parton saturation is expected to characterize low-$P_\perp$ spectrum of the heavy quark pair production. Meanwhile, initial soft gluon radiation also can affect the low-$P_\perp$ spectrum.
Therefore, in order to study the parton saturation quantatively, both the...
