Gluon mini-jet production in nuclear collisions at high energies

Abstract

We show explicitly that the leading soft gluon $p_T$ distribution, predicted by Kovner, McLerran, and Weigert after solving classical Yang-Mills equations, can be understood in terms of conventional QCD perturbation theory. We also demonstrate that the key logarithm in their result represents the logarithm in DGLAP evolution equations.
