Cold QCD

Testing ground for higher-twist
Beyond double scattering:
triple, .... n-scattering
Move from lower to
higher Q2 to establish
role of higher twist

Gluon structure functions in A
- Q2 evolution
- open charm via photongluon fusion
- Fl (Caldwell)
Open charm via D => K p
Allen Caldwell FL => GA(x,Q2)
d2/dxdQ2=2p2/xQ4[ (1+(1-y)2)F2(x,Q2) - y2FL(x,Q2) ]
Fix x, Q2. Use
different beam
energies to vary y.
Critical issue: e/p
separation
FL can be measured
precisely in the
region of maximum
interest. This will be
a strong test of our
understanding of
QCD radiation.
Role of sea quarks at low-x in A: Rolf Ent
Strategy: Select Energy Loss n > 50 GeV
hadrons with large elasticity z (=Eh/n) to reduce space-time
effect complications
Use K- and lambda-bar
to pick apart nuclear effects on sea quarks?

Current Experiment Probes of Saturation
Gluon fields (occupation numbers) become large
classical =>CGC
Jamal Jalilian-Marian
• can CGC be applied from DIS to d+Au at RHIC ?
• towards universal properties of condensate
From DIS to d+Au @ RHIC
Fit DIS => dipole
Functional form from saturation model
Iancu+Itakura+Munier
Use same dipole in dAu collisions @ RHIC
RdAu
pt
Saturation at RHIC: Mark Baker
Au+Au
– at y ~ 0, high-pt suppression is due to
dense matter formed after Au-Au passage
– not CGC, possibly QGP
d-Au at forward rapidity
– Low-x in Au
Spectra in d+Au for h>0
Brahms DNP - submitted to PRL
G. Veres QM04 (PHOBOS)
This could be the CGC!?
CAVEAT:
Shape not perfect
Phenix
Brahms
Phobos dN/dh dA/pp scaled by 1.4 /(Npart/2)
Dominated by low-pt
Suppression at moderate pt is the same as low-pt
=> Challenge to CGC which has stronger suppression at lower pt.
Moving forward : Personal View
Internal questions: what luminosity and detector do we need?
While measurements of GA/Gp are key
– Cond. matter, HEP colleagues yawn with structure funcs

“Expand” the question to sell the physics
- what is unique/similar about non-linear QCD
–What qualitatively happens near the boarder regions?
–What are the correlations in the condensate?
