Phenomenological tests of the Kharzeev-Levin-Nardi Model

We show that the Kharzeev-Levin-Nardi (KLN) model of the low x gluon distributions gives a good description of the recent HERA data on FL and (). We use it to predict FL and be measured in a future electron-ion collider. The results are similar to those obtained with the Florian-Sassot and Eskola-Paukkunen-Salgado nuclear gluon distributions. Our analysis suggests that the KLN model may still be used as an auxiliary tool to make estimates for both heavy-ion and electron-ion collisions.
