The role of entropy production in the context of probing QCD properties at high densities and finite temperatures in ultra-relativistic collisions of heavy nuclei is inspected. It is argued that the entropy generated in these reactions…
We study proton-lead collisions with a new model for the Fock states of the incoming proton. The number of collisions which the proton experiences selects the appropriate Fock state of the proton which generates a multiple of pp-like…
The hadron inclusive spectra in pp collisions at high energies are analyzed within a soft QCD model, namely the quark-gluon string model. In addition to the sea quark distribution in the incoming proton we consider also the unintegrated…
We analyze the inclusive spectra of hadrons produced in $pp$ collisions at high energies in the mid-rapidity region within the soft QCD and perturbative QCD assuming the possible creation of the soft gluons at low intrinsic transverse…
We deduce the maximum-entropy state of partons created in proton-proton and nucleus-nucleus collisions. This state is characterized by a distribution function n(x,pT) depending on the light-cone fraction x and the transverse momentum pT of…
Recent experimental results in proton-proton and in proton-nucleus collisions at Large Hadron Collider energies show a strong similarity to those observed in nucleus-nucleus collisions, where the formation of a quark-gluon plasma is…
The dynamics of low-x partons in the transverse plane of a high-energy nuclear collision is classical, and therefore admits a fully non--perturbative numerical treatment. We report results of a recent study estimating the initial energy…
We study properties of high energy factorisable gluon densities focusing on saturation effects. In particular we show that the property of saturation of unintegrated gluon density allows for introduction of thermodynamical entropy…
The fluidity of the hot and dense QCD matter is a key characteristic of the medium created in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. We extend the framework of the relativistic hydrodynamic model to incorporate non-thermal momentum distributions…
We argue that the study of heavy quarkonia, in particular that of $\Upsilon$, produced back-to-back with an isolated photon in $pp$ collisions at the LHC is the best --and currently unique-- way to access the distribution of both the…
Sufficiently inclusive processes, like the deep inelastic scattering (DIS), are described in terms of scale-dependent parton distributions, which correspond to the density of partons with a given longitudinal momentum fraction, integrated…
We analyse the entropy properties in the proton-proton 1800 GeV events from the PYTHIA/JETSET Monte Carlo generator following a recent proposal concerning the measurement of entropy in multiparticle systems. The dependence on the number of…
We argue that the distribution of hadrons near the longitudinal light-cone in central high-energy pA collisions is computable in weak coupling QCD. This is because the density of gluons per unit transverse area in the dense target at…
The relation between the gluon density in a hadron and entanglement entropy can shed a new light on the high energy scattering behavior of hadrons. Using the holographic light-front QCD framework the growth above the classical geometric…
It has been argued that high-multiplicity proton-proton collisions at the LHC may exhibit collective phenomena usually studied in the context of heavy-ion collisions, such as elliptic flow. We study this issue using DIPSY - a Monte Carlo…
As the value of the longitudinal momentum carried by partons in a ultra-relativistic hadron becomes small, one observes a growth of their density. When the parton density becomes close to a value of order $1/\alpha_s$, it does not grow any…
