Description

We discuss particle production in p(d)A collisions in the saturation/Color Glass Condensate physics framework. We describe how predictions of saturation physics can be tested by studying energy/rapidity dependence of particle spectra in p(d)A collisions. We concentrate on the nuclear modification factor RpA for gluon production. We show that at moderately high energy/rapidity the nuclear modification factor RpA exhibits Cronin enhancement. As the energy/rapidity increases, RpA decreases. At sufficiently high energy/rapidity RpA becomes less than 1 for all values of pT indicating the onset of suppression of gluon production due to quantum small-x evolution effects. These predictions were confirmed by RHIC data
