High p_T at LHC Tokaj, March 17, The importance of pA measurements The jump from pp to AA (heavy) is too large to reliably provide baseline (enhancement/suppression relative to what?) separate various nuclear effects (shadowing, multiple scattering, EMC effect,…) Examples: J/ ψ production, Drell-Yan, strangeness “enhancement” Direct observation of asymmetry should come from forward-backward difference in pA In light of no QGP formation and difference from pp, large forward-backward asymmetry should be expected in pA ?

High p_T at LHC Tokaj, March 17, Summary so far: pseudorapidity asymmetry arises from nuclear effects in constrained geometry In an asymmetric geometry (his wine thief), if there are some physical effects (gravity here), and the conditions are carefully controlled, the medium prefers one direction over the other (here the one leading to the wine glass)

High p_T at LHC Tokaj, March 17, Conclusions In the framework of a pQCD-based model, two options to describe spectra in d+Au both at y=0 and y≠0: (tentative) EITHER use EKS (or FGS or HKN) shadowing forward R CP not well reproduced OR use HIJING-type shadowing + multiscattering pseudorapidity asymmetry not reproduced unless k T broadening given rapidity dependence working on it LHC will hopefully prefer one over the other at sufficiently high rapidity and transverse momentum NEED SEPARATED FORWARD/BACKWARD DATA FOR THIS KIND OF ANALYSIS!
