Limiting fragmentation in hadron-hadron collisions at high energies

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v3 Nuclear Experiment Nuclear Theory

Abstract

Limiting fragmentation in proton-proton, deuteron-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions is analyzed in the framework of the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation in high energy QCD. Good agreement with experimental data is obtained for a wide range of energies. Further detailed tests of limiting fragmentation at RHIC and the LHC will provide insight into the evolution equations for high energy QCD.
