◮ significant suppression of gluon density in the Pb nucleus wrt the proton
at low and moderate kt
◮ gluon’s transverse momentum: k2 t = p2 t1 + p2 t2 + 2pt1pt2 cos ∆φ
◮ low and moderate kt probed by configurations with ∆φ ∼ π Sebastian Sapeta (IPPP, Durham) Saturation in central-forward jet production in p-Pb collisions at LHC 9 / 12
