Phys. Rev. D 60, 054016 (1999) [8 pages]Small x gluons in nuclei and hadronsReceived 23 February 1999; revised 19 April 1999; published 2 August 1999 We numerically study the effects of a high gluon density at small x on the evolution of the gluon distribution function in both hadrons and nuclei. Using a newly derived, Wilson renormalization group-based evolution equation which includes n to 1 gluon ladder fusion, we find a significant reduction in the nuclear gluon distribution function for large nuclei at zero impact parameter at energies relevant for BNL RHIC and CERN LHC experiments. © 1999 The American Physical Society URL:
