Prediction for unintegrated parton distributions

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-29 v2

Abstract

Unintegrated parton distributions in the proton and nucleus are predicted by a modified DGLAP equation incorporating the shadowing corrections, which include exact energy-momentum conservation in each splitting and fusion vertices. We find that the nuclear shadowing effects are obvious, although they are far from the saturation limit. On the other hand, we point out that the suppression of the unintegrated gluon distribution toward lower kt2k_t^2 may arise from the valence-like input rather than the saturation effects.
