Epps16 ⇓ first nuclear pdfs to include lhc data
We present results of our recent EPPS16 global analysis of NLO nuclear parton distribution functions (nPDFs). For the first time, dijet and heavy gauge boson production data from LHC proton–lead collisions have been included in a global fit. Especially, the CMS dijets play an important role in constraining the nuclear effects in gluon distributions. With the inclusion of also neutrino–nucleus deeply-inelastic scattering and pion–nucleus Drell–Yan data and a proper treatment of isospin-corrected data, we were able to free the flavor dependence of the valence and sea quark nuclear modifications for the first time. This gives us less biased, yet larger, flavor by flavor uncertainty estimates. The EPPS16 analysis indicates no tension between the data sets used, which supports the validity of collinear factorization and universal nPDFs for nuclear hard-collision processes in the kinematical range studied. © Copyright owned by the author(s).Peer reviewe
Funções cognitivas, autoestima e autoconceito de crianças com transtorno de déficit de atenção e hiperatividade
The study aimed to compare the performance of children with ADHD and children without learning and/or attention difficulties in tasks of visual attention, executive functions, self-esteem and self--concept. Participants were34 children, 17 with ADHD and 17in the control group, with a mean age of 9.92 years. For the evaluation, the following tests were used: Cancellation Test, Trail Making Test, Stroop Color Word Test, Tower of London, Children's Depression Inventory, Self-Esteem Multidimensional Scale, and Children's Self-Concept Scale. The results indicated that children with ADHD showed worse out comes in attention and executive functions evaluations, in the belief of doing things the wrong way, in feelings of guilt and in low self-esteem, both in the general result as well as in self-perception.The study aimed to compare the performance of children with ADHD and children without learning and/or attention difficulties in tasks of visual attention, executive functions, self-esteem and self--concept.

Nonlinear corrections to the DGLAP equations; looking for the saturation limits
The effects of the first nonlinear corrections to the DGLAP equations are studied in light of the HERA data.

Heavy-to-light ratios as a test of medium-induced energy loss at RHIC and the LHC
The ratio of nuclear modification factors of high- heavy-flavored mesons
tolight-flavored hadrons (heavy-to-light ratio) is shown to be a sensitive tool
to test medium-induced energy loss at RHIC and LHC energies. Heavy-to-light
ratios of mesons at RHIC in the region GeV, and of and
mesons at the LHC in the region GeV, are proposed for such a test.
Finally, the different contributions to the nuclear modification factor for
electrons at RHIC are analyzed. Preliminary PHENIX and STAR data are compatible
with radiative energy loss provided the contribution of electrons from beauty
decays is small compared to that from charm.Comment: 5 pages, latex, 4 eps figs included using graphicx; to appear in the

Aspects of the unitarized soft multipomeron approach in DIS and diffraction
We studyin detail the main features of the unitarized Regge model (CFKS), recentlyprop osed to describe the small-Q2 domain. It takes into account a two-component description with two types of unitarized contributions: one is the multiple pomeron exchange contribution, interacting with the large dipole size configurations, and the other one consists of a unitarized dipole cross section, describing the interaction with the small size dipoles. We analyze the ratio between soft and hard pieces as a function of the virtuality, and also compare the resulting dipole cross section to that from the saturation model. Diffraction dissociation is also considered, showing the scaling violations in diffractive DIS and estimating the corresponding logarithmic slope
Multiplicity and Transverse Energy Distributions Associated to Rare Events in Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions
We show that in high energy nucleus-nucleus collisions the transverse energy
or multiplicity distribution P_C, associated to the production of a rare,
unabsorbed event C, is universally related to the standard or minimum bias
distribution P by the equation , with and or n. Deviations from this formula are discussed,
in particular having in view the formation of the plasma of quarks and gluons.
This possibility can be distinguished from absortion or interaction of
comovers, looking at the curvature of the over Drell-Yan pairs as a
function of E_T.Comment: 8 pages, 4 Postscript figure
Nuclear Parton Distributions - a DGLAP Analysis
Nuclear parton distributions are studied within a framework of
the DGLAP evolution. Measurements of in deep inelastic
collisions, and Drell--Yan dilepton cross sections measured in collisions
are used as constraints. Also conservation of momentum and baryon number is
required. It is shown that the calculated evolution of agrees very well with the recent NMC data, and that the ratios
are only moderately sensitive to the choice of a specific modern
set of free parton distributions. For general use, we offer a numerical
parametrization of for all parton flavours in , and at
and .Comment: Talk in Quark Matter '99, 5 pages, includes 3 eps-figure
Production Associated to Rare Events in High Energy Hadron-Hadron Collisions
At very high energy the same universal relation between the multiparticle or
the transverse energy distribution associated to a rare event , and
the corresponding minimum bias distribution P, , or works for nucleus-nucleus collisions as well as
for hadron-hadron collisions. This suggests that asymptotically, all hadronic
processes are similar.Comment: 9 pages, 4 Postscript figure
Saturation and parton level Cronin effect: enhancement vs suppression of gluon production in p-A and A-A collisions
We note that the phenomenon of perturbative saturation leads to transverse
momentum broadening in the spectrum of partons produced in hadronic collisions.
This broadening has a simple interpretation as parton level Cronin effect for
systems in which saturation is generated by the "tree level" Glauber-Mueller
mechanism. For systems where the broadening results form the nonlinear QCD
evolution to high energy, the presence or absence of Cronin effect depends
crucially on the quantitative behavior of the gluon distribution functions at
transverse momenta kt outside the so called scaling window. We discuss the
relation of this phenomenon to the recent analysis by Kharzeev-Levin-McLerran
of the momentum and centrality dependence of particle production in
nucleus-nucleus collisions at RHIC.Comment: 22 pages LaTex, 7 eps-figures, discussion of evolved gluon

Counting valence quarks at RHIC and LHC
We consider the Nuclear Modification Ratios in heavy ion collisions, R_CP and
R_AA, in the region of intermediate transverse momentum, and study the
dependency upon the constituent quark composition of the observed hadron.
Adopting a two component recombination/fragmentation model, validated by
experimental information from STAR and PHENIX, we show that a clear distinction
is predicted for the f0(980) between the assumptions of or
diquark-antidiquark content.Comment: 14 pages, 11 eps figures, added figures and minor corrections, to
