A Gaussian effective theory for gluon saturation
Edmond Iancu, Kazunori Itakura, Larry McLerran
We construct a Gaussian approximation to the effective theory for the Colour Glass Condensate which describes correctly the gluon distribution both in the low density regime at hig…
Parton saturation and N_part scaling of semi--hard processes in QCD
D. Kharzeev, E. Levin, L. McLerran
We argue that the suppression of high p_t hadrons discovered recently in heavy ion collisions at RHIC may be a consequence of saturation in the Color Glass Condensate. We qualitati…
Understanding Geometric Scaling at Small x
E. Iancu, K. Itakura, L. McLerran
Geometric scaling is a novel scaling phenomenon observed in deep inelastic scattering at small x: the total virtual photon-proton cross section depends upon the two kinematical var…
R_{out}/R_{sid} and Opacity at RHIC
Larry McLerran, Sandra S. Padula
One of the most dramatic results from the first RHIC run are the STAR results for pi+- pi+- interferometry. They showed that the ratio of the so-called R_{out} and R_{sid} radii se…
Geometric Scaling above the Saturation Scale
E. Iancu, K. Itakura, L. McLerran
We show that the evolution equations in QCD predict geometric scaling for quark and gluon distribution functions in a large kinematical window, which extends above the saturation s…
The Colour Glass Condensate: An Introduction
Edmond Iancu, Andrei Leonidov, Larry McLerran
In these lectures, we develop the theory of the Colour Glass Condensate. This is the matter made of gluons in the high density environment characteristic of deep inelastic scatteri…
