Energy dependence of Cronin momentum in saturation model for p+A and A+A collisions
Abstract
We calculate
s
√
dependence of Cronin momentum for
p+A
and
A+A
collisions in saturation model. We show that this dependence is consistent with expectation from formula which was obtained using simple dimentional consideration. This can be used to test validity of saturation model (and distinguish among its variants) and measure
x
dependence of saturation momentum from experimental data.
