Description
e study the formation of photon+jet in pp and pPb collisions by implementing the small-x Improved Transverse Momentum Dependent (ITMD) factorization framework, which is ideal for forward particle generation at relatively large transverse momenta and small x. The Color Glass Condensate theory serves as the foundation for the ITMD factorization framework. We analyze the transverse momentum distributions, azimuthal correlations, and other important observables at various center-of-mass energies. We observe that this study has the potential to serve as a powerful probe of saturation effects, adding to our understanding of the gluon saturation phenomena and shed light on the fundamental elements of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) at high energies. The ITMD factorization framework is applied here via the Monte Carlo event generator KaTie. Based on: ArXiv:2306.04706
