Particle Production in pA Collisions and QCD Saturation
Abstract
The forthcoming LHC measurements in proton-nucleus (pA) collisions at forward rapidities can discriminate between the color glass condensate (CGC) and alternative approaches including standard collinear factorization one. We report some of our recent predictions based on gluon saturation/CGC formalism for pA collisions at the LHC including the charged hadron multiplicity distribution, the nuclear modification factor for single inclusive hadron and prompt photon production, and the azimuthal angle correlation of the semi-inclusive hadron-photon production.
