Improved Geometrical Scaling at the LHC

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-03-17 v3

Abstract

We show that geometrical scaling exhibited by the pTp_{\rm T} spectra measured by the CMS collaboration at the LHC is substantially improved if the exponent λ\lambda of the saturation scale depends on pTp_{\rm T}. This dependence is shown to be the same as the dependence of small xx exponent of F2F_2 structure function in deep inelastic scattering taken at the scale Q=pT/2Q=p_{\rm T}/2
