Limiting fragmentation in heavy-ion stopping?

Based on a nonequilibrium-statistical relativistic diffusion model that is consistent with quantum chromodynamics (QCD), we investigate baryon stopping in relativistic heavy-ion collisions at SPS, RHIC, and LHC energies. The net-proton rapidity distributions of the individual fragments exhibit a sca...

Description
Summary:Based on a nonequilibrium-statistical relativistic diffusion model that is consistent with quantum chromodynamics (QCD), we investigate baryon stopping in relativistic heavy-ion collisions at SPS, RHIC, and LHC energies. The net-proton rapidity distributions of the individual fragments exhibit a scaling behaviour similar to limiting fragmentation (LF) that is related to geometric scaling in the colour-glass condensate (CGC) and depends upon the gluon saturation scale. Forward-angle net-proton data at energies reached at the LHC are required to verify the prediction.
