Brief Review of Saturation Physics
arXiv:1410.7722 · doi:10.5506/APhysPolB.45.2241
Abstract
We present a short overview of saturation physics followed by a summary of the recent progress in our understanding of nonlinear small- evolution. Topics include McLerran-Venugopalan model, Glauber-Mueller approximation, nonlinear BK/JIMWLK evolution equations, along with the running-coupling and NLO corrections to these equations. We conclude with selected topics in saturation phenomenology.
