Hi Ramiro,
Here are some comments to your abstract. Sorry it has taken me so long
to get to it, I hope it helps even though it is
so late.
Comments:
Title: I dislike the use of "most forward rapidities" since we do not
measure the MOST forward. In fact, we only measure at y~3 (if memory
serves). Why not just say forward rapidities?
Text: I do not know if there is any formal limit, but I think that the
abstract is too long. The introduction seems wordy, but
I don't know what you want to cut out. I suggest the following:
The very early stages fo heavy ion collisions at RHIC can be described
by partonic degrees of freedom. The energies achieved are sufficient
to study parton distribution functions at x$\approx 0$. HERA deep
inelastic scattering results indicate that the gluon distribution
function saturates and enters a non--linear regime as x approaches 0.
Recent theoretical work has shown that this limiting behaviour is
reached at lower energies with heavier targets.
Here, you lose me. you say that the proper scale grows as a power of
A, but not what the scale is. Also, you say the "new medium" is the
CGC, but it is not clear (to my simple mind) what you mean.
Can you make this so clear that even I can understand? Not a simple
task, I am afraid...
I pick up again in what should be a new paragraph starting with
During Run III, RHIC provided d+Au and p+p collisions at
$\sqrt{s_{NN}}= 200$ GeV. The BRAHMS collaboration collected large
data samples at $y=0$ and $y_\pi=3$. In this talk, we will present
comparisons of transverse momentum spectra between d+Au and p+o
collisions for charged hadrons and identified hadrons at these
rapidities. These results will also be compared with available model
calculations. Rapidity density distributions for different transverse
momentum ranges will be presented and discussed with the context of the
possible formation of the CGC at RHIC.
Finally, a question: how much of this analysis has been done, and how
much remains?
Best regards,
Ian
