The Color Glass Condensate: an overview

Abstract

The Color Glass Condensate is a theory of the dynamical properties of partons in the Regge limit of QCD: x_{\rm Bj}\to 0$,$Q^2 >> Λ_{\rm QCD}^2={\rm fixed} and the center of mass energy squared s\to \infty. We provide a brief introduction to the theoretical ideas underlying the Color Glass Condensate and discuss the application of these ideas to high energy scattering in QCD.
