1 Why GLR-MQ-ZRS equation is necessary for understanding STAR BES program? Wei Zhu East China Normal University KITPC
Nuclear suppression factor
=TMD Unintegrated distribution=TMD
Reasons 1. Integrated and unintegrated gluon distributions can not directly measured, they only can been extracted from data using QCD evolution equations We need a QCD evolution equation, which includes nuclear shadowing and antishadowing effects.
Why not? DGLAP Equation. Nuclear shadowing and antishadowing effects are assumed in input by hand.
Why not BFKL equation, It works at x< and has not nonlinear corrections. BK equation=BFKL+gluon fusion. It works at x< and does not consider the antishadowing corrections..
JIMWLK equation Although it predicts the saturation at small x limit, however, can not describe the parton distributions at < x<1.

TOPT-Cutting rule 1.List all possible TOPT diagrams with different cuts. 2.The contributions of the cut diagrams have the identical integral kernel with only the following different factors R:
(a)The sign in the first factor is determined by the energy deficits; (b)The second factor takes a value of 1/2 if the probe-vertex inserts in the initial line; (c) function relates to the probe vertex.
