164. How can we prove/disprove the relevance of CGC/saturation physics at LHC?

Javier L Albacete (IPN Orsay)

31/05/2012, 11:00

Oral presentation

The forthcoming LHC run on p+Pb collisions will offer a unique possibility to explore the small-x regime of QCD. I shall review the physics prospects for different observables within the Color Glass Condensate framework: from multiplicity distributions, and single inclusive spectra to two-particle correlations. I will discuss in detail the quantitative challenges for a precise discrimination...

113. Global analysis of nuclear PDFs – latest developments

Kari J. Eskola (Department of Physics, University of Jyväskylä)

31/05/2012, 11:25

Oral presentation

I will present an overview of the nuclear parton distribution functions (nPDFs). I will first discuss the developments in the DGLAP-based global analysis during the last years. In the latter part of the talk, I will focus on the extraction of the spatial dependence of the globally analysed nPDFs, which has led to the new spatially dependent nPDFs called EPS09s and EKS98s (“s” for spatial)....
