Bulk quantities in nuclear collisions from running-coupling <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:msub><mml:mi>k</mml:mi><mml:mi>T</mml:mi></mml:msub></mml:math> factorization and hybrid simulations
Starting from a Color Glass Condensate (CGC) framework, based on a running-coupling improved $k_T$-factorized formula, we calculate bulk observables in several heavy-ion collision systems. This is done in two ways: first we calculate the particle distribution directly implied from the CGC model, and we compare this to the case where …
