Predictions for Cold Nuclear Matter Effects in $p+$Pb Collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}} = 8.16$ TeV
Predictions for cold nuclear matter effects on charged hadrons, identified light hadrons, quarkonium and heavy flavor hadrons, Drell-Yan dileptons, jets, photons, gauge bosons and top quarks produced in $p+$Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}} = 8.16$ TeV are compiled and, where possible, compared to each other. Predictions of the normalized ratios of $p+$Pb to $p+p$ cross sections are also presented for most of the observables, providing new insights into the expected role of cold nuclear matter effects. In particular, the role of nuclear parton distribution functions on particle production can now be probed over a wider range of phase space than ever before.
Double scattering contribution to small-x processes: Mueller-Navelet jets at the LHC
We study the importance of double parton scattering (DPS) in Mueller-Navelet jets production at the LHC. We evaluate this contribution in kinematics corresponding to existing and possible future measurements at the LHC, for the cross section and the azimuthal correlation of the jets.
High-energy resummation effects in Mueller-Navelet jets production at the LHC
We summarize recent developments in the study of high-energy resummation effects in Mueller-Navelet jets production at the LHC and discuss possible relations with multiparton interactions.
Probing BFKL dynamics in Mueller-Navelet jet production at the LHC
We review the results of our studies on the production of two jets with a large interval of rapidity at hadron colliders, which was proposed by Mueller and Navelet as a possible test of the high energy dynamics of QCD, within the next-to-leading logarithm framework. The application of the Brodsky-Lepage-Mackenzie procedure to fix the renormalization scale leads to a very good description of the available CMS data at the LHC for the azimuthal correlations of the jets. We show that the inclusion of next-to-leading order corrections to the jet vertex significantly reduces the importance of energy-momentum non-conservation which is inherent to the BFKL approach, for an asymmetric jet configurat…
