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.
