QCD and the classical limitQCD = Quark Model + Gauge Invariance
For ,
.iClassical dynamics applies when the action is large:
=> Need weak coupling and strong fields
![Page 4: QCD and Heavy Ions: an overview D. Kharzeev BNL XXXIX Rencontres de Moriond, March 28 - April 4 2004](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f565503460f94c7a0df/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Asymptotic freedom and the classical limit of QCD
Classical limit S>>1 requires weak coupling and strong fields;Large distances: strong fields but large coupling…
Is there a place for classical methods?
![Page 5: QCD and Heavy Ions: an overview D. Kharzeev BNL XXXIX Rencontres de Moriond, March 28 - April 4 2004](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f565503460f94c7a0df/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Parton saturation and the classical limit of QCD
At small Bjorken x, hard processes develop over.large longitudinal distances
All partons contribute coherently => at sufficiently small x and/or .large A strong fields, weak coupling!

Non-linear effects in the QCD evolution
QCD evolution equations (DGLAP, BFKL) predict an increase of parton densities at small Bjorken x, in agreement with experiment;
at “sufficiently small” x and/or large A non-linear effects must become important (GLR; MQ; JIMWLK; ILM).At large , equations can be written in a closed form - BK (dipole scatterings are assumed to be independent - similar to the mean field approximation in statistical physics)but correlations may be important - see e.g.
E.Iancu, A.H.Mueller, hep-ph/0309276;A.H.Mueller, A.I.Shoshi, hep-ph/0402193

CGC and total multiplicities in Au-Au
CGC predicts very simple dependence of multiplicity.on atomic number A / Npart:
Almost like in “wounded nucleon” and string-based models;Agrees unexpectedly well with “soft + hard” parameterizations
(note: total multiplicities are dominated by small transverse momenta => classical dynamics applicable)

Is this the jet quenching in QGP?

Very likely;.but could there be alternative explanations? (2002)lternative
DK, Levin, McLerran hep-ph/0210332
Yes, possibly:1) Small x evolution leads to .the modification of gluon propagators -“anomalous dimension”:
2) Qs is the only relevant dimensionful parameter in the CGC;.thus everything scales in the ratio
3) Since Tthe A-dependence is changed => Npart scaling!

Conclusion:high pT suppression is a final-state effect
Can one prove that it is due to a radiative jet energy lossIn the Quark-Gluon Plasma?
Quite likely: one possibility is to use the heavy quarks
Radiation off heavy quarks is suppressed (“dead cone”) => less quenching
On the other hand, D mesons have about the same size as.pions and kaons, and so in the hadron absorption scenario.the suppression should be the same

However, the arguments for the CGC-caused,suppression should hold for sufficiently small x;
Does this happen at RHIC?Study the forward rapidity region:
Moving to y=+4 from y=0 increases the saturation scale.by factor of three

Is this “just shadowing”?
Yes, it is - shadowing is the deviation of nuclear parton distributions from the nucleon’s ones. CGC is a theory of shadowing
Conventional parameterizations of shadowing have so far failed in describing the rapidity and centrality dependence of the data (EKS, de Florian, Accardi-Gyulassy,…
Some approaches (e.g. HIJING shadowing) describe suppression at y=3, but also predict it at y=0.
NB:approaches relating shadowing to diffraction should work

SummaryHigh energy heavy ion program allows to study QCD in the domains of high parton density (small x, large A) and high energy density
Novel exciting effects have been observed in Au-Au and forward d-Au interactions;
they point towards the collective partonic behavior and non-linear dynamics at small x
