The CGC and the Glasma: Two Lectures at the Yukawa Insitute

arXiv:1011.3204 · doi:10.1143/PTPS.187.17

Abstract

These lectures concern the theory of the Color Glass Condensate (CGC) and the Glasma. These are forms of matter that control the earliest times in hadronic collisions. I will motivate the CGC and Glasma from simple physical considerations, and provide a sketchy derivation from QCD. There will be some discussion of experimental tests of these ideas.
