Three Lectures on the Physics of Small x and High Gluon Density

Abstract

In these lectures, I shall discuss small x physics and the consequences of high gluon density which arises as x decreases. I argue that an understanding of this problem would lead to knowledge of the high energy asymptotics of hadronic processes. The high gluon density should allow a first principles computation of these asymptotics from QCD.
