"p-p和p-Pb碰撞中dijet方位角相关性的展宽和饱和效应" 这篇在《Physics Letters B》上发表的文章探讨了在质子-质子(p-p)和质子-铅(p-Pb)碰撞中，双喷流(dijet)的方位角相关性所表现出的展宽和饱和效应。dijet是指两个高能量的喷流，它们在高能粒子碰撞中产生，通常由一对硬散射夸克或胶子产生。这些现象在理解强相互作用，尤其是量子色动力学(QCD)的基本原理方面具有重要意义。文章指出，ATLAS实验合作组在5.02TeV的能量下对质子-质子和质子-铅碰撞进行了前向dijet相关性的测量，这些测量结果与胶子饱和度的理论预测相吻合。胶子饱和度是QCD中的一个关键概念，它描述了在高能量密度条件下，胶子密度增长到一定程度后，进一步增加的能量将不会显著增加胶子密度的现象。这在高能核物理中是一个重要的考虑因素，因为它有助于解释重离子碰撞中的集体效应。同时，文章还讨论了硬对数的Sudakov效应。Sudakov效应是指在高能过程中的软散射导致的大对数项的积累，这些项可能对计算结果产生显著影响。在dijet相关性的研究中，Sudakov对数的恢复意味着这些软散射效应需要被正确地重新组合和重排，以得到准确的预测。作者们通过分析发现，胶子饱和和Sudakov效应两者的结合是解释实验观测的关键。两者都对描述dijet方位角的相关性展宽起着不可或缺的作用。这一发现加强了对QCD在极端条件下的理解，并可能对未来更精确的理论计算和实验测量提供指导。这项研究揭示了在高能碰撞中，dijet相关性不仅受到胶子饱和度的影响，还受到Sudakov对数效应的显著影响。这些发现对于深化我们对强相互作用的理解，特别是在高密度环境下的QCD动力学，具有深远的意义。同时，由于文章是开放获取的，这使得全球的研究人员都能自由地访问和使用这些成果，推动相关领域的科学研究。

We demonstrate that the recent forward-forward dijet correlation data measured by the ATLAS

collaboration for proton-proton and proton-lead collisions are consistent with the broadening effects

due to both the gluon saturation and the resummation of large logarithms of a hard scale (the so-called

Sudakov logarithms). We ﬁnd that both effects are necessary to describe the experimental results.

1. Introduction

High energy collisions of protons and heavy nuclei at the Large

Hadron Collider (LHC) provide a unique tool to probe dense sys-

tems

of partons – quarks and gluons – bounded in a highly

Lorentz-contracted, large nucleus. From this point of view, espe-

cially

interesting are processes where well-deﬁned jets of hadrons

are produced in the forward direction with respect to the incom-

ing

proton. Kinematically, such jets have large rapidities. Thus, they

trigger events in which the partons extracted from the nucleus

carry small longitudinal momentum fraction x. Due to the well-

known

rise of gluon distributions at small x, this kinematic setup

is perfectly suited to investigate the phenomenon of gluon satura-

tion,

which should occur at some value of x to prevent violation

of the unitarity bound (for a review of this subject see Ref. [1]).

In recent years there has been growing evidence in favour of the

occurrence of saturation in nature [2].

Recently , the ATLAS collaboration studied azimuthal correla-

tions

of dijets in proton-lead (p-Pb) and proton-proton (p-p) col-

lisions

at the center-of-mass energy

√

=5.02 TeV, covering, in

particular, the forward rapidity region between 2.7 −4.0units[3].

The measurement indicates sizable nuclear effects at small val-

ues

of x. In this region, the description of the data using con-

ventional

methods – collinear factorization and nuclear parton

distribution functions (PDFs) – is challenging: the nuclear PDFs

are burdened with large uncertainty at small x and they do not

account properly for large density effects [4]. The behaviour of

dense systems of partons when x becomes small is predicted by

Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and leads to non-linear ev olu-

tion

equations known as Balitsky-Jalilian-Marian-Iancu-McLerran-

Weigert-Leonidov-Kovner

(B-JIMWLK) equations [5,6], which, in

particular, can be derived within the Color Glass Condensate (CGC)

theory [7]. In CGC, the calculation of forward jet production in

proton-nucleus collisions relies on the so-called hybrid approach

[8], where the large-x projectile is described simply by the con-

ventional

collinear PDFs, while the nucleus must be treated with

nonlinear equations. However, description of multi-jet production

is rather complicated even in this simpliﬁed framework [9,10]. A

novel approach to such processes was initiated in Ref. [11]for di-

jets

in the back-to-back correlation regime and in Ref. [12]for a

more general situation. The latter is known in the literature as

the small-x improved, transverse momentum dependent (ITMD)

factorization. It provides a momentum-space factorization formula

which has the form of a generalized factorization, i.e. it involves

several transverse momentum dependent (TMD) gluon distribu-

tions

characterizing partons in the dense target. The ITMD formula

accounts for: (i) complete kinematics of the scattering process with

off-shell gluons, (ii) gauge invariant deﬁnitions of the TMD gluon

densities, (iii) gauge invariant expressions for the off-shell hard

matrix elements, (iv) it also recovers the high energy factorization

(aka k

-factorization) [13–15]in the limit of large off-shellness of

the initial-state gluon from the nucleus. Recently, it was proved

that the ITMD formalism corresponds to resummation of all kine-

matic

twists in the CGC theory [16]. Steps in further extension of

the formalism to three and more jets were undertaken in Ref. [17]

and

in [18]in the correlation limit. The ITMD formalism has been

applied so far to double-inclusive jet production [19]in p-Pb and

p-p collisions, jet production in ultra-peripheral heavy ion colli-
