Geometric Scaling at RHIC and LHC
Andre Utermann (Vrije U., Amsterdam)
We present a new phenomenological model of the dipole scattering amplitude to
demonstrate that the RHIC data for hadron production in d-Au
collisions are for all available rapidities compatible with geometric
scaling. Hence, geometric scaling violation as predicted by BFKL (BK)
evolution is not needed to describe RHIC data, but might be probed at
LHC. Predictions for p-Pb and p-p collisions at LHC are
given. Moreover, the model also allows a reasonable description of the
small-x DIS data.
