Abstract

We calculate the transverse correlation of fluctuations of the deposited energy density in nuclear collisions in the framework of a Gaussian model similar to the color glass condensate model.

  33. We note that the expressions (6,8) are valid only in the comoving time limit τ→0+ and represent the initial conditions for the nonlinear field evolution in the CGC model. The ultraviolet divergence of the energy density, which is removed by using a certain running coupling, is an artifact of this limit.

  36. The running coupling also removes the infrared divergence at x→Λ−1 due to the logarithm in the exponent of (9). While this is convenient, it is also obscuring the fact that the Gaussian model does not correctly treat correlations and other effects due to color confinement.
