Extracting the Distribution Amplitudes of the rho meson from the Color Glass Condensate
We extract the leading twist-2 and subleading twist-3 Distribution Amplitudes
(DAs) of the rho meson using the HERA data on diffractive rho photoproduction.
We do so using several Colour Glass Condensate (CGC) inspired and a Regge
inspired dipole models. We find that our extracted twist-2 DA is not much model
dependent and is consistent with QCD Sum Rules and lattice predictions. The
extracted twist-3 DA is more model dependent but is still consistent with the
Sum Rules prediction.Comment: 21 pages, 10 figures, 3 tables. Section 6 revised, figures 8 and 9

Non-perturbative computation of double inclusive gluon production in the Glasma
The near-side ridge observed in A+A collisions at RHIC has been described as
arising from the radial flow of Glasma flux tubes formed at very early times in
the collisions. We investigate the viability of this scenario by performing a
non-perturbative numerical computation of double inclusive gluon production in
the Glasma. Our results support the conjecture that the range of transverse
color screening of correlations determining the size of the flux tubes is a
semi-hard scale, albeit with non-trivial structure. We discuss our results in
the context of ridge correlations in the RHIC heavy ion experiments.Comment: 25 pages, 11 figures, uses JHEP3.cls V2: small clarifications,

Next-to-leading and resummed BFKL evolution with saturation boundary
We investigate the effects of the saturation boundary on small-x evolution at
the next-to-leading order accuracy and beyond. We demonstrate that the
instabilities of the next-to-leading order BFKL evolution are not cured by the
presence of the nonlinear saturation effects, and a resummation of the higher
order corrections is therefore needed for the nonlinear evolution. The
renormalization group improved resummed equation in the presence of the
saturation boundary is investigated, and the corresponding saturation scale is
extracted. A significant reduction of the saturation scale is found, and we
observe that the onset of the saturation corrections is delayed to higher
rapidities. This seems to be related to the characteristic feature of the
resummed splitting function which at moderately small values of x possesses a
minimum.Comment: 34 page
Isolated tau leptons in events with large missing transverse momentum at HERA
A search for events containing isolated tau leptons and large missing
transverse momentum, not originating from the tau decay, has been performed
with the ZEUS detector at the electron-proton collider HERA, using 130 pb^-1 of
integrated luminosity. A search was made for isolated tracks coming from
hadronic tau decays. Observables based on the internal jet structure were
exploited to discriminate between tau decays and quark- or gluon-induced jets.
Three tau candidates were found, while 0.40 +0.12 -0.13 were expected from
Standard Model processes, such as charged current deep inelastic scattering and
single W-boson production. To search for heavy-particle decays, a more
restrictive selection was applied to isolate tau leptons produced together with
a hadronic final state with high transverse momentum. Two candidate events
survive, while 0.20 +-0.05 events are expected from Standard Model processes.Comment: 28 pages, 4 figures, 3 tables, accepted by Phys. Lett. B. Updated

Observation of Scaling Violations in Scaled Momentum Distributions at HERA
Charged particle production has been measured in deep inelastic scattering
(DIS) events over a large range of and using the ZEUS detector. The
evolution of the scaled momentum, , with in the range 10 to 1280
, has been investigated in the current fragmentation region of the Breit
frame. The results show clear evidence, in a single experiment, for scaling
violations in scaled momenta as a function of .Comment: 21 pages including 4 figures, to be published in Physics Letters B.

On the Energy Dependence of the Dipole-Proton Cross Section in Deep Inelastic Scattering
We study the dipole picture of high-energy virtual-photon-proton scattering.
It is shown that different choices for the energy variable in the dipole cross
section used in the literature are not related to each other by simple
arguments equating the typical dipole size and the inverse photon virtuality,
contrary to what is often stated. We argue that the good quality of fits to
structure functions that use Bjorken-x as the energy variable - which is
strictly speaking not justified in the dipole picture - can instead be
understood as a consequence of the sign of scaling violations that occur for
increasing Q^2 at fixed small x. We show that the dipole formula for massless
quarks has the structure of a convolution. From this we obtain derivative
relations between the structure function F_2 at large and small Q^2 and the
dipole-proton cross section at small and large dipole size r, respectively.Comment: 27 page

Inclusive hadron distributions in p+p collisions from saturation models of HERA DIS data
Dipole models based on various saturation scenarios provide reasonable fits
to small-x DIS inclusive, diffractive and exclusive data from HERA. Proton
un-integrated gluon distributions extracted from such fits are employed in a
-factorization framework to calculate inclusive gluon distributions at
various energies. The n-particle multiplicity distribution predicted in the
Glasma flux tube approach shows good agreement with data over a wide range of
energies. Hadron inclusive transverse momentum distributions expressed in terms
of the saturation scale demonstrate universal behavior over a wider kinematic
range systematically with increasing center of mass energies.Comment: 4 pages, 6 figures, talk given by P. T. at the conference

Saturation in nuclei
This talk discusses some recent studies of gluon saturation in nuclei. We
stress the connection between the initial condition in heavy ion collisions and
observables in deep inelastic scattering (DIS). The dominant degree of freedom
in the small x nuclear wavefunction is a nonperturbatively strong classical
gluon field, which determines the initial condition for the glasma fields in
the initial stages of a heavy ion collision. A correlator of Wilson lines from
the same classical fields, known as the dipole cross section, can be used to
compute many inclusive and exclusive observables in DIS.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures. Talk given at EDS'09: 13th International
