Public Abstract

Theoretical Studies in Higher Energy Nuclear Physics Mark Strikman This research will probe novel high energy QCD phenomena related to the presence of color fluctuations, color transparency and other coherence effects as well as effects related to presence high gluon densities at small x. These effects are currently been studied in ultra peripheral heavy ion collisions and in pA collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. They are expected to be studied with a much higher accuracy and in much higher energy and Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and in a decade at EIC. We will study structure and manifestations of two and three nucleon (2N and 3N) SRC at the resolution scales of few GeV2 necessary to probe multinucleon structure of the SRCs and at higher resolution scales necessary for probing quark - gluon distributions in nuclei. This research will explore the possibility to get A-dependence of kinetic density of nucleons in nuclei from some special x ranges.
