The Color Glass Condensate and particle production in the forward rapidity region Original Research Article

Hadron production in the forward rapidity region is considered in the Color Glass Condensate approach to high energy deuteron-nucleus collisions. The projectile deuteron is treated via collinear factorization and pQCD formalism while the nucleus is described as a Color Glass Condensate. It is shown that both DGLAP evolution of the projectile wave function and JIMWLK evolution of the target are essential for a proper understanding the RHIC data in the forward rapidity region.
