Title: Collective flow from AA, pA to pp collisions – Toward a unified paradigm

Abstract

I give an overview of the latest development in understanding collective phenomena in high-multiplicity hadronic final state from relativistic nucleus-nucleus, proton-nucleus and proton-proton collisions. Upon reviewing the experimental data and confronting them with theoretical models, a unified paradigm in describing the observed collectivity across all hadronic collision systems is emerging. Potential future paths toward addressing key open questions, especially on collectivity in small systems (pp, pA), are discussed.

HIGING: A Monte Carlo model for multiple jet production in pp , pA , and AA collisions

Journal Article Wang, X ; Gyulassy, M - Physical Review, D (Particles Fields); (United States)

Combining perturbative-QCD inspired models for multiple jet production with low {ital p}{sub {ital T}} multistring phenomenology, we develop a Monte Carlo event generator HIJING to study jet and multiparticle production in high energy {ital pp}, {ital pA}, and {ital AA} collisions. The model includes multiple minijet production, nuclear shadowing of parton distribution functions, and a schematic mechanism of jet interactions in dense matter. Glauber geometry for multiple collisions is used to calculate {ital pA} and {ital AA} collisions. The phenomenological parameters are adjusted to reproduce essential features of {ital pp} multiparticle production data for a wide energy range ({radical}{ital s}more »« less

The small-x gluon distribution in centrality biased pA and pp collisions

Journal Article Dumitru, Adrian ; Kapilevich, Gary ; Skokov, Vladimir - Nuclear Physics. A

Here, the nuclear modification factor R_pA(p_T) provides information on the small- x gluon distribution of a nucleus at hadron colliders. Several experiments have recently measured the nuclear modification factor not only in minimum bias but also for central pA collisions. In this paper we analyze the bias on the configurations of soft gluon fields introduced by a centrality selection via the number of hard particles. Such bias can be viewed as reweighting of configurations of small- x gluons. We find that the biased nuclear modification factor Q_pA(p_T) for central collisions is above R_pA(p_T) for minimum bias events, and that itmore »« less

Production of minijets (gluons) and strangeness enhancement in pA and AA collisions at relativistic energies

Journal Article An, T ; Ben-Hao, S ; An, T ; ... - Physical Review, C

The idea that effective string tension increases as a result of the hard gluon kinks on a string is applied to study the strange particle production in proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions. It is found that the effective string tension increases with the increase of centrality and mass of the colliding system as a consequence of the minijet (gluon) production stemming from the collective string-string interaction. This mechanism leads to strangeness enhancement in pA and AA collisions through the enhanced production of the strange quark pairs from the color field of strings. We discuss different roles played by this mechanism andmore »« less

Heavy quarkonium production: Nontrivial transition from pA to AA collisions

Journal Article Kopeliovich, B Z ; Institut fuer Theoretische Physik der Universitaet, Philosophenweg 19, D-69120 Heidelberg ; Potashnikova, I K ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

Two novel QCD effects, double-color filtering and mutual boosting of the saturation scales in colliding nuclei, affect the transparency of the nuclei for quark dipoles in comparison with proton-nucleus collisions. The former effect increases the survival probability of the dipoles, since color filtering in one nucleus makes the other one more transparent. The second effect acts in the opposite direction and is stronger; it makes the colliding nuclei more opaque than in the case of pA collisions. As a result of parton saturation in nuclei the effective scale is shifted upward, which leads to an increase of the gluon densitymore »« less

Relating the description of gluon production in pA collisions and parton energy loss in AA collisions

Journal Article Mehtar-Tani, Yacine - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

We calculate the classical gluon field of a fast projectile passing through a dense medium. We show that this allows us to calculate both the initial state gluon production in proton-nucleus collisions and the final state gluon radiation off a hard parton produced in nucleus-nucleus collisions. This unified description of these two phenomena makes the relation between the saturation scale Q{sub s} and the transport coefficient q more transparent. Also, we discuss the validity of the eikonal approximation for gluon propagation inside the nucleus in proton-nucleus collisions at RHIC energy.
