At the LHC, the leading partons in the nuclei are expected to interact with the maximal possible strength - black disk limit - up to transverse momenta of the order of few GeV. We demonstrate that in this limit the densities of the quark - gluon systems produced in the central AA collisions in the nucleus fragmentation regions should exceed 300 GeV/fm^3 which is at least as high as the densities discussed for the central region. Experimental signatures of such a regime are also discussed.
Explaining the fine hierarchy in pion and kaon suppression at LHC: Importance of fragmentation functions
本文集中讨论LHC中心2.76 TeV Pb+Pb碰撞的$π^\pm$和$K^\pm$ ALICE初步$R_{AA}$数据。这些数据显示了有趣的精细分辨率层次,即,与$π^\pm$测量相比,测量的$K^\pm$数据始终具有较低的抑制。在这里,我们要问的是,基于动力学QCD介质中能量损失的理论预言是否能够定量和定性地解释这种精细的分辨率。虽然我们的抑制计算同意与数据,我们发现,定性解释精细的层次结构,关键取决于选择的碎裂功能。虽然最广泛使用的碎裂函数导致所观察到的层次结构的逆转,但最近的版本正确地再现了实验数据。我们在这里指出这种预测差异背后的原因。我们的研究结果表明,理论预测的准确性达到了一个点,在LHC的精细分辨率数据的比较可以产生有用的理解。

Evolution of the parton dihadron fragmentation functions
研究了e+e-湮灭过程中夸克和胶子部分子双强子碎裂函数及其演化。我们提供了这样的双强子碎裂函数的部分子矩阵元素的定义,并推导出动量和规则及其连接到单强子碎裂函数。我们将Lund Monte Carlo模型JETSET的结果作为Q_0^2=2 GeV^2部分子双强子碎裂函数的初始条件。数值求解了夸克和胶子碎裂函数的演化方程,在不同的高尺度Q^2下的结果与JETSET的结果符合得很好。从单一的碎片功能的输入的重要性指出。
