Limiting fragmentation in hadron–hadron collisions at high energies

Limiting fragmentation in proton–proton, deuteron–nucleus and nucleus–nucleus collisions is analyzed in the framework of the Balitsky–Kovchegov equation in high energy QCD. Good agreement with experimental data is obtained for a wide range of energies. Further detailed tests of limiting fragmentatio...

Description
Summary:Limiting fragmentation in proton–proton, deuteron–nucleus and nucleus–nucleus collisions is analyzed in the framework of the Balitsky–Kovchegov equation in high energy QCD. Good agreement with experimental data is obtained for a wide range of energies. Further detailed tests of limiting fragmentation at RHIC and the LHC will provide insight into the evolution equations for high energy QCD.
