Universal nuclear dependence in high energy nuclear collisions Original Research Article

In this talk, I present a systematic calculation of process independent nuclear dependence to nuclear parton distribution functions (nPDFS). In terms of the collinear QCD factorization approach, we calculate the leading-pole contributions to DGLAP evolution equations of nPDFs, and we evaluate both real and virtual Feynman diagrams without using the AGK cutting rule. Our result has an advantage for studying nuclear dependence in a region where active parton momentum fraction x is not too small.
