  2. A-A Collisions at RHIC and the Initial State Jet quenching, Elliptic flow, J/ψ Studying the Initial State in d-A Collisions Hadron cross sections, hadron pair correlations Summary & Outlook: p-A at LHC and e-A at EIC Outline: Hadron Suppression at Forward Rapidities Initial State in HI Collisions observed final state initial state partonic matter hadronization Au Au time

  3. J/ψ Production: Some Relevant Cold Nuclear Matter Effects in the Initial State high x low x (II) Dissociation of into two D mesons by nucleus or co-movers (I) Shadowing (from fits to DIS data or model calculations) RGPb (III) Gluon saturation from non-linear gluon interactions for the high gluon densities at small x K. EskolaH. Paukkumen, C. Salgado JHEP 0807:102,2008  DGLAP LO analysis of nuclear pdfs GPb(x,Q2)=RGPb(x,Q2)Gp(x,Q2)

  4. J/ψ : Most of the Suppression in A-A is from Cold Nuclear Matter Effects found in d-A Collisions EKS shadowing + dissociation: use d-Au data to determine break-up cross section EKS shadowing + dissociation: from d-Au vs Au-Au data at forward-rapidity EKS shadowing + dissociation: from d-Au vsAu-Au data at mid-rapidity PRC 77,024912(2008)

  5. (III) cont’d The Color Glass Condensate see for example, F. Gelis, E. Iancu, J. Jalilian- Marian, R. Venugopalan, arXiv:1002.0333 CGC: an effective field theory: Small-x gluons are described as the color fields radiated by fast color sources at higher rapidity. This EFT describes the saturated gluons (slow partons) as a Color Glass Condensate. The EFT provides a gauge invariant, universal distribution, W(ρ): W(ρ) ~ probability to find a configuration ρ of color sources in a nucleus. The evolution of W(ρ) is described by the JIMWLK equation. gluon density saturates for large densities at small x : Non-linear evolution eqn. diffusion g-g merging g emission • g-g merging large if • saturation scale • QS, nuclear enhancement ~ A1/3

  6. CGC Expectations for Nuclear Modification of HadronCross Sections in d-Au Collisions Nuclear Modification Factor: RdA CGC-based expectations Kharzeev, Kovchegov, and Tuchin, Phys.Rev.D68:094013,2003 • gluon saturation at low x •  RdAu decreases • at forward rapidity • measure RdAufor • different hadrons: • h+,-, π0, J/ψ rapidity, y pT

  7. BRAHMS d+Au Cross Sections Decrease with Increasing Rapidity and Centrality BRAHMS, PRL 93, 242303 RdAu Hadron production is suppressed at large rapidity consistent with saturation effects at low x in the Au gluon densities  CGC Similar results from PHOBOS, STAR and PHENIX

  8. Theory vs Data CGC p+p d+Au J. Albacete and C. Marquet, PLB687, 184 Not bad! However, different K factors for h+,- in BRAHMS and π0 in STAR

  9. Theory vs Data  Cronin + Shadowing + E-loss I.Vitev, T. Goldman, M.B. Johnson, JW. Qiu, Phys. Rev. D74 (2006) Not bad either! • RdAresults alone do not uniquely demonstrate gluon • saturation. Competing explanations can account for • observed hadron suppression in d-Au at forward rapidity !

  10. Probing for Gluon Saturation Effects with Hadron-HadronCorrelations in d+Au dense gluon field -- Au dilute partonsystem -- d jet with trigger hadron • Experimental signature: • Angular correlation • between hadrons in opposing • hemispheres • widening of correlation width of • d-Au compared to pp • reduction in associated yield • of hadrons on the away site • Effects large at low x •  forward rapidity •  forward EMC upgrades in • STAR : 2 < η < 4 • PHENIX : 3.1 < |η| < 3.8 jet with associated hadron pT is balanced by many gluons Idea: Presence of dense gluon field in the Au nucleus leads to scattering of multiple gluons and partoncan distribute its energy to many scattering centers  Mono-jet signature !

  19. Summary & Future Steps Towards GA(x) and knowing the Initial State of HI Collisions o RHIC data on single and di-hadron suppression suggest large nuclear effects in the initial state of HI collisions. o A detailed theoretical analysis of the available data yet has to be carried out. o Next: Hadron and Jet measurements in p-Pb at the LHC o Future: GA(x) measurements at an electron-ion collider e+A whitepaper (2007) Precise extraction of GA(x,Q2) from FL measurements at EIC will be able to dis- criminate between different models eRHIC: 10 GeV + 100 GeV/n - estimate for 10 fb-1

  21. Why Study Nuclear Effects in Nucleon Structure in Particular the Nuclear Gluon Distribution GA(x) ? General interest: • Extend Understanding • of QCD into the non- • perturbative regime of • high field strengths and • large gluon densities. • Search for universal properties of nuclear • matter at low x and high • energies. Heavy Ion Collisions: • Understand the initial state to obtain quantitative • description of the final state • in HI-collisions. • Establish theoretical framework to describe initial state of HI-collisions based • on measurements of GA (x) in p/d-A or e-A.
