In hadrons and nuclei at very small x, parton distributions saturate at a scale Q_s(x). Since the occupation number is large, and $Q_s(x)>>\Lambda_{QCD}$, classical weak coupling methods may be used to study this novel regime of non-linear…
For an ultra-dense exciton gas in cuprous oxide (Cu$_2$O), exciton-exciton interactions are the dominant cause of exciton decay. This study demonstrates that the accepted Auger recombination model overestimates the exciton decay rate…
Unintegrated gluon densities in nuclei, dipole-nucleus cross-sections and quark densities are numerically investigated in the high-colour limit, with the scattering on a heavy nucleus exactly described by the sum of fan diagrams of BFKL…
Partons are defined as the quanta in a Fock space description of a hadron. Gluon saturation is described in the Weizs\"{a}cker-Williams approximation for a large nucleus. The elements of DGLAP and BFKL evolution are given with the BFKL…
It is argued that the gluon density introduced by A.Mueller in relation to the saturation phenomenon is different from the standardly defined one, which turned out to have a soliton-like form in the numerical calculations. It is shown that…
Saturation of small-x gluons in a nucleus, which has the form of transverse momentum broadening of projectile gluons in pA collisions in the nuclear rest frame, leads to a modification of the parton distribution functions in the beam…
We consider double $gg\rightarrow g$ production in the presence of a bias on the unintegrated gluon distribution of the colliding hadron or nuclei. Such bias could be due to the selection of configurations with a greater number of gluons or…
We review a consistent description of the fusion and saturation of partons in the Lorentz-contracted ultrarelativistic nuclei in terms of a nuclear attenuation of color dipole states of the photon and collective Weizs\"acker-Williams (WW)…
We calculate the unintegrated gluon distribution at low intrinsic transverse momenta and its parameters are found from the best description of the SPS and LHC data on the $pp$ collision in the soft kinematical region. It allows us to study…
The quark saturation behavior at low $Q^2$ is shown in a numeric solution of the DGLAP equation with parton recombination corrections, which resembles the widely discussed JIMWLK saturation of gluons. Our calculation suggests that the…
In order to get an estimate of the homogeneity of the distribution of matter in a fast hadron or nucleus, we compute the correlations of the saturation scales Q_s between different points in impact-parameter space, in some specific…
Geometric scaling is a novel scaling phenomenon observed in deep inelastic scattering at small x: the total virtual photon-proton cross section depends upon the two kinematical variables Q^2 and x only via their combination Q^2 R_0^2(x),…
At low $x$ a transition from a dilute parton gas to a dense parton liquid takes place. We derive geometrical scaling for the structure function in deep inelastic scattering at low $x$ from a diverging correlation length $\xi(x)$ of Wilson…
We prove several results of the following type: given finite dimensional normed space V possessing certain geometric property there exists another space X having the same property and such that (1) log (dim X) = O(log (dim V)) and (2) every…
We propose a new description of inclusive diffraction in deep inelastic scattering (DIS). The diffractive structure functions are expressed in the dipole picture and contain heavy-quark contributions. The dipole scattering amplitude, a…
Two-particle azimuthal angle correlations have been proposed to be one of the most direct and sensitive probes to access the underlying gluon dynamics involved in hard scatterings. In anticipation of an Electron-Ion Collider (EIC), detailed…
For the first time in binary mixtures of solid rare gases exciton-impurity luminescence is observed from a xenon-argon system containing argon as impurity. An exciton-impurity emission band is registered for binary clusters with the…
The energy dependence of the virtual photoabsorption cross section in deep inelastic scattering (DIS) at low $x = Q^2/W^2 < 0.1$ may be described in terms of the saturation scale that in our approach depends on the energy, $\Lambda^2_{sat}…
Using the dipole picture for electron-nucleus deep inelastic scattering at small Bjorken $x$, we study the effects of gluon saturation in the nuclear target on the cross-section for SIDIS (single inclusive hadron, or jet, production). We…
A simple model for nuclear structure functions in the region of small x and small and moderate $Q^2$, is presented. It is a parameter-free extension, in the Glauber-Gribov approach to nuclear collisions, of a saturation model for the…
