Abstract

We consider the single-inclusive minijet cross section in pA at forward rapidity within the color glass condensate model of high energy collisions. We show that the nucleus appears black to the incident quarks except for very large impact parameters. A markedly flatter p(t) distribution as compared to QCD in the dilute perturbative limit is predicted for transverse momenta about the saturation scale, which could be as large as Q(2)(s) approximately 10 GeV2 for a gold nucleus boosted to rapidity approximately 10 (as at the BNL-RHIC).
