Abstract:Wit Busza pioneered the study of proton-nucleus collisions in order to understand how nucleons lose energy to the nuclear medium and how multiple interactions can affect particle production. These are questions of paramount importance for formation of quark gluon plasma in ion-ion collisions. In this proceedings I report insights on nuclear shadowing, saturation, and the Cronin effect drawn from d+Au collisions at RHIC. The study of proton-nucleus collisions has been of great interest for many years. Much of t… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
