Description

An exact analytical solution to the nonlinear Balitsky-Kovchegov equation is proposed, requiring very few parameters to describe the nonlinearity of gluon evolution. Using this solution, along with the concept of color glass condensate, we achieve a good description of RHIC and LHC data on differential yields for d-Au, p-p, and p-Pb collisions. Quantitative predictions for nuclear modification factors in p-Pb, Pb-Pb, and Xe-Xe collisions relevant to LHC Run 2 are provided
