Abstract
The gluon radiation spectrum of a classical particle struck by a sheet of colored glass, is a key ingredient in understanding the distribution of energy and baryon density in the fragmentation region, particularly in the initial stages of heavy ion collisions. However, the currently known classical spectrum has a troublesome high-momentum tail (Kajantie et al. in Phys. Rev. D 100(5):054011, 2019; Phys Rev D 101(5):054012, 2020). By comparing tree-level bremsstrahlung of a spin-less quark to the above-mentioned known result, we propose an interpolating formula that takes into account the recoil of the struck particle, and therefore produces the correct perturbative behaviour at high momentum of the radiated gluon.
