Abstract

In this paper, we found within the framework of perturbative QCD, that in deuteron-deuteron scattering the Bose-Einstein correlations due to two parton showers production, induce azimuthal angle correlations, with three correlation lengths: the size of the deuteron (RDR_D), the proton radius (RNR_N), and the size of the BFKL Pomeron which, is closely related to the saturation momentum (Rc1/QsR_c \sim 1/Q_s). These correlations are independent of the values of rapidities of the produced gluons (long range rapidity correlations), for large rapidities (\basy1y21\bas |y_1 - y_2| \geq 1), and have no symmetry with respect to ϕπϕ\phi \to \pi - \phi (pT1pT1 \vec{p}_{T1} \to - \vec{p}_{T1}). Therefore, they give rise to vnv_n for all values of nn, not only even values. The contributions with the correlation length RDR_D and RNR_N crucially depend on the non-perturbative contributions, and to obtain estimates of their values, requiries a lot of modeling, while the correlations with Rc1/QsR_c \sim 1/Q_s have a perturbative QCD origin, and can be estimated in the ColorGlass Condensate (CGC) approach.
