Measuring the saturation scale in nuclei

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2014-11-20 v1 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

The saturation momentum seeing in the nuclear infinite momentum frame is directly related to transverse momentum broadening of partons propagating through the medium in the nuclear rest frame. Calculation of broadening within the color dipole approach including the effects of saturation in the nucleus, gives rise to an equation which describes well data on broadening in Drell-Yan reaction and heavy quarkonium production.
