We argue that the process gamma +A \to J/psi + gap + X at large momentum transfer provides a quick and effective way to test onset of a novel perturbative QCD regime of strong absorption for the interaction of small dipoles at the collider…
In recent years, significant progress was reached in understanding of vacuum and hadronic structure. We review recent works on the {\it point-to-point correlation functions}, comparing those obtained from phenomenology, ``instanton liquid"…
I briefly review the physical picture of the saturated gluons at small-x as a Colour Glass Condensate, and the effective theory which forms the basis of this picture.
We examine carefully bottomonia hadroproduction in proton colliders, especially focusing on the LHC, as a way of probing the gluon density in protons. To this end we develop some previous work, getting quantitative predictions and…
The low-x behavior of the linearly polarized gluon density h_{g}(x,k_t^2, Q^2) in nuclei is studied in the rescaling model at small transverse momentum k_t.
Nuclear gluon densities are of great importance to the physics of relativistic heavy ion collisions, in particular, in assessing the origin of $J/\psi$-suppression. We describe our attempts to distinguish various models of the gluonic…
This is a draft describing the calculation of the evolution of the gluon density in $x$ from an initial value $x=x_{0}=0.01$ to smaller values, up to $x=10^{-8}$ in the hard pomeron formalism with a running coupling introduced on the basis…
We will provide a review of some of the physics which can be addressed by studying fluctuations and correlations in heavy ion collisions. We will discuss Lattice QCD results on fluctuations and correlations and will put them into context…
Reliable knowledge of parton distributions at large x is crucial for many searches for new physics signals in the next generation of collider experiments. Although these are generally well determined in the small and medium x range, it has…
Heavy-ion collisions at the BNL-RHIC collider can probe whether gluon saturation effects in nuclei at small x have set in, or whether leading-twist perturbative estimates of particle production are still applicable. I discuss that soon to…
In this work we analyse the entanglement entropy in deep inelastic scattering off protons and nuclei. It is computed based on the formalism where the partonic state at small-x is maximally entangled with proton being constituted by large…
The basic concepts relevant for the theoretical description of deep inelastic scattering within the QCD improved parton model are introduced. Recent developments in low $x$ DIS and in deep inelastic diffraction are briefly summarised. This…
It is the aim of this talk to review our understanding of the high-energy limit of QCD, focussing, in particular, on recent theoretical developments. After a brief introduction, I will recall why the true high-energy limit of QCD scattering…
The study of azimuthal correlations in particle production at forward rapidities in proton-nucleus collisions provides direct information about high gluon density effects, like gluon saturation, in the nuclear wavefunction. In the…
The Bessel-inspired behavior of parton densities at small Bjorken x values is used along with `frozen' and analytic modifications of the strong coupling constant [1] to study the so-called EMC effect. Among other results, this approach…
We derive the analogue of the QCD low energy theorems for the scalar and pseudoscalar gluonic correlators in nuclear matter. We find that the scalar correlations are depleted while the pseudoscalar correlations are enhanced to leading order…
We review the main features of event-by-event fluctuations of the content of the Fock states of onia (as models for dilute hadrons, or as bare hadronic components of virtual photons), as well as some of their observable consequences. We…
