Gluon production in the Color Glass Condensate from BCFW recursion
Francois Gelis
In the Color Glass Condensate framework, the colliding projectiles are described as classical color currents. Gluon production at leading order in the coupling is obtained from the…
Some Aspects of the Theory of Heavy Ion Collisions
Francois Gelis
We review the theoretical aspects relevant in the description of high energy heavy ion collisions, with an emphasis on the learnings about the underlying QCD phenomena that have em…
The Early Stages of Heavy Ion Collisions
Francois Gelis
Heavy ion collisions pose interesting challenges to quantum chromodynamics, because they probe the parton structure of the incoming nuclei at very small longitudinal momentum fract…
Gauge ambiguity of the quark spectrum in the Color Glass Condensate
Francois Gelis, Naoto Tanji
In the Color Glass Condensate, the inclusive spectrum of produced quarks in a heavy ion collision is obtained as the Fourier transform of a -fermion correlation function. Due to…
Statistical fluctuations of correlators in the Color Glass Condensate
Francois Gelis, Naoto Tanji
In the McLerran-Venugopalan model, correlators of Wilson lines are given by an average over a Gaussian ensemble of random color sources. In numerical implementations, these average…
Tree-level correlations in the strong field regime
Francois Gelis
We consider the correlation function of an arbitrary number of local observables in quantum field theory. We show that, at tree level in the strong field regime, these correlations…
