RESUMO

In this work we use the Interacting Gluon Model (IGM), a model that describes quite well the energy flow in hadronic collisions, to study the leading particle spectrum when gluon saturation effects are included. The leading particle spectrum is calculated for several center of mass energies (s^1/2), using gluon distribution functions with and without saturation effects. In both cases the resulting spectrum becomes softer for increasing energies. With saturation the softening is less pronounced than without.
