In high-energy heavy-ion collisions, the initial condition of the produced quark-gluon plasma (QGP) and its evolution are sensitive to collective nuclear structure parameters describing the shape and radial profiles of the nuclei. We find a…
Various conventional running coupling prescriptions reproducing $\beta_ 0$-dependent terms of NLO JIMWLK are reviewed and found to be theoretically inconsistent: the JIMWLK evolution Hamiltonian with running coupling violates the…
The Interacting Gluon Model (IGM) is a tool designed to study energy flow, especially stopping and leading particle spectra, in high energy hadronic collisions. In this model, valence quarks fly through and the gluon clouds of the hadrons…
