Modeling the Impact Parameter Dependence of the nPDFs With EKS98 and EPS09 Global Fits

So far the nuclear PDFs (nPDFs) in the global DGLAP fits have been taken to be spatially independent. In this work [I. Helenius, K. J. Eskola, H. Honkanen, C. A. Salgado, JHEP 1207 (2012) 073], using the A-dependence of the globally fitted sets EPS09 and EKS98, we have determined the spatial depende...

description So far the nuclear PDFs (nPDFs) in the global DGLAP fits have been taken to be spatially independent. In this work [I. Helenius, K. J. Eskola, H. Honkanen, C. A. Salgado, JHEP 1207 (2012) 073], using the A-dependence of the globally fitted sets EPS09 and EKS98, we have determined the spatial dependence of the nPDFs in terms of powers of the nuclear thickness functions. New spatially dependent nPDF sets EPS09s (NLO, LO, error sets) and EKS98s (LO) are released. As an application, we consider the nuclear modification factor R_d_A_u^@p^^^0 at midrapidity for neutral pion production in deuteron-gold collisions at RHIC in NLO. Comparison with the PHENIX data in different centrality classes is also shown. In addition, predictions for the corresponding nuclear modification factor R_p_P_b^@p^^^0 in proton-lead collisions at the LHC are discussed.

In this work, using the $A$-dependence of the globally fitted sets EPS09 and EKS98, we have determined the spatial dependence of the nPDFs in terms of powers of the nuclear thickness functions. New spatially dependent nPDF sets EPS09s (NLO, LO, error sets) and EKS98s (LO) are released. As an application, we consider the nuclear modification factor $R_{dAu}^{\pi^0}$ at midrapidity for neutral pion production in deuteron-gold collisions at RHIC in NLO. Comparison with the PHENIX data in different centrality classes is also shown. In addition, predictions for the corresponding nuclear modification factor $R_{pPb}^{\pi^0}$ in proton-lead collisions at the LHC are discussed.arXiv:1207.6869oai:cds.cern.ch:14708042012-07-31
