Nuclear enhancement of universal dynamics of high parton densities

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2010-03-25 v2 Nuclear Experiment Nuclear Theory

Abstract

We show that the enhancement of the saturation scale in large nuclei relative to the proton is significantly influenced by the effects of quantum evolution and the impact parameter dependence of dipole cross sections in high energy QCD. We demonstrate that there is a strong A dependence in diffractive deeply inelastic scattering and discuss its sensitivity to the measurement of the recoil nucleus.
