[HTML][HTML] 50 Years of quantum chromodynamics: Introduction and Review

F Gross, E Klempt, SJ Brodsky, AJ Buras… - The European Physical …, 2023 - Springer
Quantum Chromodynamics, the theory of quarks and gluons, whose interactions can be
described by a local SU (3) gauge symmetry with charges called “color quantum numbers” …

Evolution at small xbj: The color glass condensate

H Weigert - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2005 - Elsevier
When probed at very high energies or small Bjorken xbj, QCD degrees of freedom manifest
themselves as a medium of dense gluon matter called the Color Glass Condensate. Its key …

New forms of QCD matter discovered at RHIC

M Gyulassy, L McLerran - Nuclear Physics A, 2005 - Elsevier
We discuss two special limiting forms of QCD matter which may be produced at RHIC. We
conclude from the available empirical evidence that an equilibrated, but strongly coupled …

The color glass condensate and high energy scattering in QCD

E Iancu, R Venugopalan - Quark–Gluon Plasma 3, 2004 - World Scientific
At very high energies or small values of Bjorken x, the density of partons, per unit transverse
area, in hadronic wavefunctions becomes very large leading to a saturation of partonic …

Saturation physics and deuteron–gold collisions at RHIC

J Jalilian-Marian, YV Kovchegov - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2006 - Elsevier
We present a review of parton saturation/Color Glass Condensate physics in the context of
deuteron–gold (d+ Au) collisions at RHIC. Color Glass Condensate physics is a universal …

On solutions of the Balitsky–Kovchegov equation with impact parameter

K Golec-Biernat, AM Staśto - Nuclear Physics B, 2003 - Elsevier
We numerically analyze the Balitsky–Kovchegov equation with the full dependence on
impact parameter b. We show that due to a particular b-dependence of the initial condition …

De-confinement and clustering of color sources in nuclear collisions

MA Braun, JD de Deus, AS Hirsch, C Pajares… - Physics Reports, 2015 - Elsevier
A brief introduction of the relationship of string percolation to the Quantum Chromo
Dynamics (QCD) phase diagram is presented. The behavior of the Polyakov loop close to …

Exclusive vector meson production at HERA from QCD with saturation

C Marquet, R Peschanski, G Soyez - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields …, 2007 - APS
Following recent predictions that the geometric scaling properties of deep inelastic
scattering data in inclusive γ* p collisions are expected also in exclusive diffractive …

A Gaussian effective theory for gluon saturation

E Iancu, K Itakura, L McLerran - Nuclear Physics A, 2003 - Elsevier
We construct a Gaussian approximation to the effective theory for the colour glass
condensate which describes correctly the gluon distribution both in the low density regime at …

No Froissart bound from gluon saturation

A Kovner, UA Wiedemann - Physics Letters B, 2003 - Elsevier
In the previous work [Phys. Rev. D 66 (2002) 051502], we showed that while the nonlinear
QCD evolution equation of Balitsky and Kovchegov (BK) leads to saturation of the scattering …
