Heavy flavor production in pA collisions
Heavy quark production in high-energy proton-nucleus (pA) collisions is
described in the framework of the Color Glass Condensate. kT factorization is
broken even at leading order albeit a more general factorization in pA holds at
this order in terms of 2, 3 and 4 point correlators of Wilson lines in the
nuclear target. The x-evolution of these correlators is computed in the large A
and large N mean field limit of the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation. We show
results for heavy quark production at RHIC and LHC energies.Comment: Talk given at QM2006. 4
