Hot and cold nuclear matter effects in p–Pb collisions at the LHC

Blog Article

The pA system is typically regarded in heavy ion collisions as a “cold” nuclear matter environment and thought to isolate and identify initial state effects due to the presence of multiple nucleons in Diabetic Socks the incoming nucleus.Moreover, pA collisions bridge the gap between peripheral AA collisions and the pp baseline to create a more complete understanding of underlying production mechanisms and how they evolve with multiplicity.Recent measurements at both RHIC and the Lice LHC provide an indication, however, that the “cold” nuclear matter picture may be somewhat naïve.Recent LHC results from the 2013 p–Pb run at √sNN = 5.

02 TeV will be discussed.
