Jet production rates are measured in p þ p and d þ Au collisions at √sNN = 200 GeV recorded in 2008
with the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. Jets are reconstructed using the R ¼ 0.3
anti-kt algorithm from energy deposits in the electromagnetic calorimeter and charged tracks in multiwire
proportional chambers, and the jet transverse momentum (pT ) spectra are corrected for the detector
response. Spectra are reported for jets with 12 < pT < 50 GeV=c, within a pseudorapidity acceptance of
jηj < 0.3. The nuclear-modification factor (RdAu) values for 0%–100% d þ Au events are found to be
consistent with unity, constraining the role of initial state effects on jet production. However, the centralityselected
RdAu values and central-to-peripheral ratios (RCP) show large, pT-dependent deviations from unity,
challenging the conventional models that relate hard-process rates and soft-particle production in collisions
involving nuclei.

Multiplicity dependence of (anti-)deuteron production in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV
ALICE Collaboration (Elsevier B.V., 2019)In this letter, the production of deuterons and anti-deuterons in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV is studied as a function of the charged-particle multiplicity density at mid-rapidity with the ALICE detector at the LHC. ... -

Forward J/ψ production in pA collisions : centrality dependence
Ducloue, Bertrand; Lappi, Tuomas; Mäntysaari, H. (Sissa, 2016)The nuclear suppression of forward J/ψ production in high energy proton-nucleus collisions can be used as a probe of gluon saturation at small x. In an earlier work we studied this suppression in minimum bias collisions ... -
Centrality-dependent forward J/ψ production in high energy proton-nucleus collisions
Ducloue, Bertrand; Lappi, Tuomas; Mäntysaari, H. (EDP Sciences, 2016)Forward J/ψ production and suppression in high energy proton-nucleus collisions can be an important probe of gluon saturation. In an earlier work we studied this process in the Color Glass Condensate framework and showed ... -
