Diffraction, the Color Glass Condensate and String Theory

Abstract

We explain the main ideas of the color glass condensate in high energy collisions. Different approaches to the problem are outlined with emphasis on the resummation approach. We present evidence that the color glass condensate can be described by an effective conformal field theory or even by a string theory.
