Heavy ion collision multiplicities and gluon distribution functions
Abstract
Atomic number (A) and energy () scaling exponents of multiplicity and transverse energy in heavy ion collisions are analytically derived in the perturbative QCD + saturation model. The exponents depend on the small-x behaviour of gluon distribution functions at an x-dependent scale. The relation between initial state and final state saturation is also discussed.
