Inclusive hadron production at LHC in dipole momentum space    [PDF]

E. A. F. Basso, M. B. Gay Ducati, E. G. de Oliveira

Within the $k_t$-factorization formalism and using a momentum space model for the dipole scattering amplitude we describe the LHC data on proton-proton collisions, and also on the ALICE preliminary data on the 5.02 TeV proton-lead run. The model is based on the asymptotic solutions of the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation, being ideal in the saturation domain where the target wavefunction has high occupation number. We compare the results of this work with the analysis performed recently in the scope of a hybrid factorization formalism.
