Description
For decades, hadron structure research has progressed toward probing the behavior of constituent quarks and gluons (partons) at smaller and smaller fractions $x$ of their parent hadron's momentum. At sufficiently small $x$, this behavior is expected to transition to saturation, a condition where parton self-interactions and multiple scatterings become significant.
High-energy proton-ion collisions at RHIC and the LHC provide the best available testing ground for the saturation model. However, producing precise numerical predictions from the model is a complicated task; the state of the art in this area involves next-to-leading order QCD calculations, which are difficult to do numerically. In this talk I'll review recent progress in extracting numerical predictions from saturation models and matching them to experimental results.
