Parton ladder splitting and the rapidity dependence of transverse momentum spectra in deuteron-gold collisions at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider

K Werner, FM Liu, T Pierog - Physical Review C—Nuclear Physics, 2006 - APS
We present a phenomenological approach (EPOS), based on the parton model, but going
much beyond by incorporating elastic and inelastic parton ladder splitting. Based on this …
