Gluon saturation in dijet production in p-Pb collisions at Large Hadron Collider

Understand

We study saturation effects in the production of dijets in p-p and p-Pb collisions using the framework of high energy factorization.

• We focus on central-forward jet configurations, which allow for probing gluon density at low longitudinal momentum fraction.
• We find significant suppression of the central-forward jet decorrelations in p-Pb compared to p-p, which we attribute to saturation of gluon density in nuclei.
