High gluon densities in heavy ion collisions

JP Blaizot - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
The early stages of heavy ion collisions are dominated by high density systems of gluons
that carry each a small fraction x of the momenta of the colliding nucleons. A distinguishing …

When does the gluon reggeize?

S Caron-Huot - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2015 - Springer
A bstract We propose the eikonal approximation as a simple and reliable tool to analyze
relativistic high-energy processes, provided that the necessary subtleties are accounted for …

Quantum chromodynamics at high energy and statistical physics

S Munier - Physics reports, 2009 - Elsevier
When hadrons scatter at high energies, strong color fields, whose dynamics is described by
quantum chromodynamics (QCD), are generated at the interaction point. If one represents …

Effective Hamiltonian for QCD evolution at high energy

Y Hatta, E Iancu, L McLerran, A Staśto… - Nuclear Physics A, 2006 - Elsevier
We construct the effective Hamiltonian which governs the renormalization group flow of the
gluon distribution with increasing energy and in the leading logarithmic approximation. This …

Diffusive scaling and the high-energy limit of deep inelastic scattering in QCD at large Nc

Y Hatta, E Iancu, C Marquet, G Soyez… - Nuclear Physics A, 2006 - Elsevier
Within the limits of the large-Nc approximation (with Nc the number of colors), we establish
the high-energy behaviour of the diffractive and inclusive cross-sections for deep inelastic …

Conformally invariant pomeron interaction in perturbative QCD with large Nc

MA Braun - The European Physical Journal C-Particles and Fields, 2006 - Springer
An effective non-local quantum field theory is constructed, which describes the interaction of
pomerons in high-colored QCD. The theory includes both splitting and merging triple …

Odderon and seven Pomerons: QCD Reggeon field theory from JIMWLK evolution

A Kovner, M Lublinsky - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
We reinterpret the JIMWLK/KLWMIJ evolution equation as the QCD Reggeon field theory
(RFT). The basic" quantum Reggeon field" in this theory is the unitary matrix R which …

Treading on the cut: Semi-inclusive observables at high energy

A Kovner, M Lublinsky, H Weigert - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields …, 2006 - APS
We develop the formalism for calculating semi-inclusive observables at high energy in the
JIMWLK/KLWMIJ approach. This approach is valid for scattering of a small perturbative …

Pomeron loops in zero transverse dimensions

AI Shoshi, BW **ao - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2006 - APS
We analyze a toy model which has a structure similar to that of the recently found QCD
evolution equations, but without transverse dimensions. We develop two different but …

Dense-dilute duality at work: Dipoles of the target

A Kovner, M Lublinsky - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2005 - APS
We explore the properties of the QCD high energy evolution in the limit of a dilute target.
Using the recently established property of self-duality of the evolution operator, we show …
