By studying quarkonia photo-nuclear production, the ALICE and CMS collaborations have recently provided experimental evidence of nuclear gluon effects in gamma+Pb interactions at unprecedented low Bjorken-x values in the Pb nucleus. In this talk, an experimental and theoretical review about these studies will be given. The prospect of innovative measurements using the run 2 data will be described.

Various ultra$-$relativistic high energy collision experiments have been performed at different places to test the predictions of quantum chromo$-$dynamics (QCD). The charged hadrons produced in these experiments can reveal the nature of hadronic interactions at extreme temperature and/or density and throw light on the role played by the quarks and gluons in the particle production mechanism....

In high energy heavy-ion collisions a precise knowledge of the initial state is required in order to describe properties of the strongly interacting medium. There is event by event geometric as well as quantum fluctuations in the initial condition of heavy-ion collisions. The standard technique of analyzing heavy-ion collisions in bins of centrality obtained from final state multiplicity...

We study the effects of nucleon shadowing in the two component Glauber model. The conventional Glauber model predicts a knee-like structure in the centrality dependence of $v_2$ which has not been observed in experiments. This discrepancy is removed by the inclusion of nucleon shadowing. The model also explains the suppression in fluctuations of initial $\varepsilon_{2}$ for a given...
