Heavy-ion collisions at BNL's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and CERN's Large Hadron
Collider provide strong evidence for the formation of a quark-gluon plasma, with …

We present an overview of theoretical aspects of the phenomenon of gluon saturation in
high energy scattering in Quantum Chromo Dynamics. Then we review the state-of-the-art of …

We present calculations of the bulk properties and multiparticle correlations in a large variety
of collision systems within a hybrid formalism consisting of impact-parameter-dependent …

We compute initial conditions in heavy ion collisions within the color glass condensate
framework by combining the impact parameter dependent saturation model with the …

We explore the impact of strong classical color fields, which occur in the earliest stages of
heavy-ion collisions and are known as the glasma, on the classical transport of hard probes …

The event-by-event multiplicity distribution, the energy densities and energy density
weighted eccentricity moments ε n (up to n= 6) at early times in heavy-ion collisions at both …

This article summarizes our present knowledge about nuclear matter at the highest energy
densities and its formation in relativistic heavy ion collisions. We review what is known about …

We show that when saturation effects are included one obtains a good description of the
exclusive J/ψ production spectra in ultraperipheral lead-lead collisions as recently …

We study the jet quenching parameter q ˆ in the initial pre-equilibrium stages of heavy-ion
collisions using the QCD kinetic theory description of the anisotropic quark-gluon plasma …

The differential cross section of exclusive diffractive vector meson production in electron
proton collisions carries important information on the geometric structure of the proton. More …
