Leading soft gluon production in high energy nuclear collisions

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The leading soft gluon p_T distribution in heavy ion collisions was obtained by Kovner, McLerran, and Weigert after solving classical Yang-Mills equations. I show explicitly this result can be understood in terms of conventional QCD perturbation theory. I also demonstrate that the key logarithm in their result represents the logarithm in DGLAP evolution equations.
