Fully reconstructed jets and direct photon-tagged jet fragments significantly reduce energy-loss bias, the bias toward mostly measuring particles from partons which suffer little energy loss. In d+Au collisions, one accesses the physics at…

The upcoming p+Pb run at the LHC will probe the nuclear gluon distribution at very small Bjorken x (from $x \sim 10^{-4}$ at mid-rapidity down to $x \sim 10^{-6}$ in the proton fragmentation region) and will allow to test approaches based…
We show that pQCD factorization incorporated with pre-haronization energy-loss effect naturally leads to flatness of the nuclear modification factor R_{AA} for produced hadrons at high transverse momentum p_T. We consider two possible…
Collisions between hadronic systems at relativistic energies provide a window on the small-x gluon distributions of fast moving nuclei. It has been predicted that gluon saturation effects will manifest themselves as a suppression in the…
We investigate possible signatures of gluon saturation using forward $p+A \to j+j+X$ di-jet production processes at the Large Hadron Collider. In the forward rapidity region, this is a highly asymmetric process where partons with large…
The RHIC experiments have measured the nuclear modification factor R_AA of non-photonic electrons in Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s) = 200 GeV. This R_AA exhibits a large suppression for pt > 2 GeV/c which is commonly attributed to heavy-quark…

We attempt, in this paper, to deal with the direct photon production phenomena in $p+p$, $d+Au$ and $Au+Au$ collisions at RHIC energy, $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV and in $Pb+Pb$-collisions at LHC energy, $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV on the…
