Multi Quark Production in p+A collisions: Quantum Interference Effects

Understand

We consider forward inclusive production of several quarks in the high energy p-A collisions in the CGC formalism.

• For three particle production we provide a complete expression in terms of multipole scattering amplitudes on the nucleus and multi particle generalized TMD's of the proton.
• We then calculate all the terms that are not suppressed by the factor of the area in four particle production, and generalize this result up to terms of order $1/N_c^2$ for arbitrary number of produced particles.
• Our results include the contribution of quantum interference effects both in the final state radiation (HBT) and in the initial projectile wave function (Pauli blocking).
