The non-linear evolution of dense partonic systems has been suggested as oneof the novel physics mechanisms relevant to the dynamics of hadron-nucleus andnucleus-nucleus collisions at collider energies. Here we study to what extentthe description of Cronin enhancement in the framework of this non-linearevolution is consistent with the recent observation in 200 AGeV d--Aucollisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. We solve theBalitsky-Kovchegov evolution equation numerically for several initialconditions encoding Cronin enhancement. We find that the properly normalizednuclear gluon distribution is suppressed at all momenta relative to that of asingle nucleon. Calculating the resulting spectrum of produced gluons in p-Aand A-A collisions, we establish that the nonlinear QCD evolution is unable togenerate a Cronin type enhancement, and that it quickly erases any suchenhancement which may be present at lower energies.Comment: 4 pages, Latex, 3 eps-figure
