Gluon radiation from a classical point particle: Recoil effects

We propose a formula for gluon radiation in the fragmentation region. By comparing tree-level bremsstrahlung of a spin-less quark to the known result for gluon radiation from a classical particle struck by a sheet of colored glass arXiv:1903.01381, arXiv:1911.12738 we modify the classical formula to take into account the recoil of the struck particle. The new formula produces the correct perturbative behaviour at high momentum of the radiated gluon.

Distribution of Nuclear Matter and Radiation in the Fragmentation Region

We study the fragmentation (far forward/backward) region of heavy ion collisions by considering an at-rest nucleus which is struck by a relativistic sheet of colored glass. By means of a simple classical model, we calculate the subsequent evolution of baryons and the associated radiation. We confirm that the struck nucleus undergoes a compression and that the dynamics of the early times of the collision are best described by two separate fluids as the produced radiation's velocity distribution is very different to the velocity distribution of the matter in the struck nucleus.

Gluon Bremsstrahlung in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions

We study the process $qq\rightarrow qqg$ at lowest order in QCD perturbation theory to understand gluon radiation in the fragmentation region of relativistic heavy-ion collisions. We arrive at a formula for gluon multiplicity that interpolates between $\sim 1/k_{\bot}^2$ behavior at low $k_{\bot}$, to $\sim 1/k_{\bot}^4$ at large $k_{\bot}$.
