Analytic and Approximate Solutions to Color Glass Condensate in the Classical Weak-Field Limit
S. Robicheaux, R. J. Fries
We discuss two-point functions and the energy momentum tensor of the classical gluon field after the collision of sheets of color charges on the light cone in the weak-field limit.…

Quark Coalescence: Formation of Mesons Including Excited States
R. J. Fries, P. Virupapuram, J. Purcell +5
We discuss the quantum mechanics of coalescence of quark-antiquark pairs into mesons using a non-relativistic quark model. We derive the coalescence probabilities assuming a harmon…
