Multiparticle production in the Glasma at NLO and plasma instabilities
We discuss the relation between multi-particle production in the Glasma at
next-to-leading order and the physics of plasma instabilities.Comment: 4 pages, talk at Quark Matter 200
Melting the Color Glass Condensate at the LHC
The charged particle multiplicity in central AA collisions and the production
of heavy flavors in pA collisions at the LHC is predicted in the CGC framework.Comment: Presented at the Workshop on Heavy Ion Collisions at the LHC: Last

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
Decoherence of a Pointer by a Gas Reservoir
We study the effect of the environment on the process of the measurement of a
state of a microscopic spin half system. The measuring apparatus is a heavy
particle, whose center of mass coordinates can be considered at the end of the
measurement as approximately classical, and thus can be used as a pointer. The
state of the pointer, which is the result of its interaction with the spin, is
transformed into a mixed state by the coupling of the pointer to the
environment. The environment is considered to be a gas reservoir, whose
particles interact with the pointer. This results in a Fokker-Planck equation
for the reduced density matrix of the pointer. The solution of the equation
shows that the quantum coherences, which are characteristic to the entangled
state between the probabilities to find the pointer in one of two positions,
decays exponentially fast in time. We calculate the exponential decay function
of this decoherence effect, and express it in terms of the parameters of the
model.Comment: 41 pages, 1 figur
Diffractive structure functions in nuclei
We calculate proton and nuclear diffractive structure functions in the IPsat
(Kowalski-Teaney) dipole model. This parametrization has previously been shown
to provide good agreement with inclusive F_2 measurements and exclusive vector
meson measurements at HERA. We discuss how the impact parameter dependence
crucially affects our analysis, in particular for small beta.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, talk at "DIS 2009", Madrid, Spain, 26-30 Apr 200
