Nucleus-nucleus interaction in the perurbative QCD

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

Nucleus-nucleus interaction is studied in the framework of the perturbative QCD with large number of colours and a fixed coupling constant. The pomeron tree diagrams are summed by an effective field theory. The classical field equations are solved by iteration procedure, which is found convergent in a restricted domain of not too high energies and atomic numbers. The found gluon distributions do not scale, have their maxima close to 2 GeV/c independent of rapidity and fall towards the central rapidity region. The cross-sections slowly grow with energy due to the contribution from peripheral collisions, where evolution remains linear. Simple variational estimates at higher rapidities confirm this tendency.
