Content

I discuss the fragmentation region at very high energies. Due to the mismatch of the saturation momenta of the target and projectile, there is a parametric difference between the energy density and multiplicity density of produced particles dependence upon saturation momenta. This parametric difference allows one to discriminate between thermalized and non-thermalized systems by measuring the baryon number to total multiplicity, and transverse momentum distributions.
