We explore how nuclear modifications to the nucleon parton distributions affect production of high transverse momentum hadrons in deuteron-nucleus collisions. We calculate the charged hadron spectra to leading order using standard…
The influence of the underlying nucleon-nucleon collision geometry on evaluations of the nuclear overlap function ($T_{AB}$) and number of binary collisions ($N_{coll}$) is studied. A narrowing of the spatial distribution of the…
We present a new approach to estimate the effect of the gluon shadowing in nucleus+nucleus collisions and its consequences on the J/psi production yield. Using kinematical information available from the measured J/psi production in…
The measurements of the centrality dependence of $dN/d\eta$ and transverse momentum spectra from mid- to forward rapidity in d+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{\rm NN}}} =$ 200 GeV are reported. They provide a sensitive tool for understanding…
We report on a study of the transverse momentum dependence of nuclear modification factors $R_{dAu}$ for charged hadrons produced in deuteron + gold collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}= 200$GeV, as a function of collision centrality and of the…
We present measured J/psi production rates in d+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV over a broad range of transverse momentum (p_T=0-14 GeV/c) and rapidity (-2.2<y<2.2). We construct the nuclear-modification factor R_dAu for these…
We have carried out a wide study of Cold Nuclear Matter (CNM) effects on J/Psi production in d+Au, Cu+Cu and Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN)=200 GeV. We have studied the effects of three different gluon-shadowing parametrisations, using the…
The study of nuclear effects for J/{\psi} production in proton-nucleus collisions is crucial for a correct interpretation of the J/{\psi} suppression patterns experimentally observed in heavy-ion collisions. By means of three representative…
Collisions between hadronic systems at relativistic energies provide a window on the small-x gluon distributions of fast moving nuclei. It has been predicted that gluon saturation effects will manifest themselves as a suppression in the…
In a previous work, we studied the momentum fraction and hard--scale dependence of double parton scattering (DPS) in proton--proton collisions and the resulting dependence of the effective cross section on the final--state observables. In…
The presence of nuclear medium and collective phenomena which involve several nucleons modify the parton distribution functions of nuclei (nPDFs) compared to those of a free nucleon. These modifications have been investigated by different…
Understanding the detailed production and hadronization mechanisms for heavy quarkonia and their modification in a nuclear environment presents one of the major challenges in QCD. Calculations including nuclear-modified parton distribution…
PHENIX has measured the centrality dependence of mid-rapidity pion, kaon and proton transverse momentum distributions in d+Au and p+p collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV. The p+p data provide a reference for nuclear effects in d+Au and…
The nuclear modification factor $R_{AA}$ of non-photonic electrons in ${Au} + {Au}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}^{}} = 200$ GeV is studied by considering the decays of heavy-flavor hadrons produced in a quark coalescence model. Although an…
Deuteron-gold collisions provide insights into the nuclear structure function and a valuable baseline for Au+Au collisions. Measurement of the nuclear modification factor, R_{dAu}, in d+Au in the PHENIX central arms for hadrons and photons…
A new calculation of R_{dAu} has been performed using the 2003 d+Au data and the higher-statistics 2005 p+p data. These nuclear modification factors are compared to calculations using nuclear-modified PDFs and a J/psi breakup cross section…
Stringent physical constraints relate the $J/\psi$ produced at a given transverse momentum $p_T$ to the Bjorken-$x$ of the initial gluons. We present a new approach which takes them into account in order to explicitely investigate the…
The enhanced suppression of $J/\psi$ production at large $x_F$ in $pA$ collisions is studied in the framework of gluon depletion at large $x_1$. The nonperturbative process that modifies the gluon distribution as the gluons propagate in…
By using the theoretical approaches describing well the available data on $t$-integrated coherent photoproduction of light and heavy vector mesons in Pb-Pb ultraperipheral collisions (UPCs) at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Run 1, we…
The PHENIX experiment has measured electrons and positrons at midrapidity from the decays of hadrons containing charm and bottom quarks produced in d+Au and p+p collisions at sqrt(s_NN)=200 GeV at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, in the…
