Baryon stopping in the color glass condensate formalism: A phenomenological study
The net-baryon production at forward rapidities is investigated considering the color glass condensate formalism. We assume that at large energies the coherence of the projectile quarks is lost and that the leading baryon production mechanism changes from recombination to independent fragmentation. The phenomenological implications for net-baryon production in $pp/pA/AA$ collisions are analyzed and predictions for Large Hadron Collider energies are presented.
