Color Glass Condensate at RHIC ?
Adrian Dumitru
Abstract
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 come data from pA collisions at RHIC may provide more systematic insight into this problem than present data on the energy and centrality dependence of hadron production from Au+Au collisions. Results from pA collisions at RHIC could also help to understand some controversial and puzzling results from ion-ion collisions, for example the large azimuthal asymmetry at high pt, as measured by the STAR collaboration.
