CGC/saturation approach for soft interactions at high energy: inclusive production

In this letter we demonstrate that our dipole model is successful in describing the inclusive production within the same framework as diffractive physics. We believe that this achievement stems from the fact that our approach incorporates the positive features of the Reggeon approach and CGC/saturation effective theory, for high energy QCComment: 8 pages, 6 figures in.eps file

Long range rapidity correlations in soft interaction at high energies

In this paper we take the next step (following the successful description of inclusive hadron production) in describing the structure of the bias events without the aid of Monte Carlo codes. Two new results are presented :(i) a method for calculating the two particle correlation functions in the BFKLPomeron calculus in zero transverse dimension;and (ii) an estimation of the values of these correlations in a model of soft interactions. Comparison with the multiplicity data at the LHC is given.Comment: 23pp. 13 figures in eps.file

CGC/saturation approach for high energy soft interactions: `soft' Pomeron structure and vnv_{n} in hadron and nucleus collisions from Bose-Einstein correlation

In the framework of our model of soft interactions at high energy based on CGC/saturation approach,we show that Bose-Einstein correlations of identical gluons lead to large values of $v_n$. We demonstrate how three dimensional scales of high energy interactions: hadron radius, typical size of the wave function in diffractive production of small masses (size of the constituent quark), and the saturation momentum, influence the values of BE correlations, and in particular, the values of $v_n$. Our calculation shows that the structure of the `dressed' Pomeron leads to values of $v_n$ which are close to experimental values for proton-proton scattering, 20\% smaller than the observed values for proton-lead collisions, and close to lead-lead collisions for 0-10\% centrality. Bearing this result in mind, we conclude that it is premature to consider, that the appearance of long range rapidity azimuthal correlations are due only to the hydrodynamical behaviour of the quark-gluon plasma.Comment: 26pp. 25 figures in .eps file

CGC/saturation approach for soft interactions at high energy: a two channel model

In this paper we continue the development of a model for strong interactions at high energy, based on two ingredients: CGC/saturation approach and the BFKL Pomeron. In our approach, the unknown mechanism of confinement of quarks and gluons, is characterized by several numerical parameters, which are extracted from the experimental data. We demonstrate that the two channel model, successfully describes the experimental data, including both the value of the elastic slope and the energy behavior of the single diffraction cross section. We show that the disagreement with experimental data of our previous single channel eikonal model [6] stems from the simplified approach used for the hadron structure, and is not related to our principal theoretical input, based on the CGC/saturation approach.Comment: 20 pp., 20 figure in eps file

CGC/saturation approach for soft interactions at high energy: long range rapidity correlations

In this paper we continue our program to build a model for high energy soft interactions, that is based on the CGC/saturation approach.The main result of this paper is that we have discovered a mechanism that leads to large long range rapidity correlations, and results in large values of the correlation function R\Lb y_1,y_2\Rb \,\geq \,1, which is independent of $y_1$ and $y_2$. Such behaviour of the correlation function, provides strong support for the idea, that at high energies the system of partons that is produced, is not only dense, but also has strong attractive forces acting between the partons.Comment: 22 pages and 13 figures in eps file
