Development of chaos in the color glass condensate
نویسنده
چکیده
Noting that the number of gluons in the hadron wave function is discrete, and their formation in the chain of small x evolution occurs over discrete rapidity intervals of ∆y ≃ 1/αs, we formulate the discrete version of the Balitsky–Kovchegov evolution equation and show that its solution behaves chaotically in the phenomenologically interesting kinematic region.

A New Glassy State of Matter: The Color Glass Condensate
In response to recent announcements in the international scientific community, we are pleased to give a brief overview of a new experimental claim that the Color Glass Condensate, an additional sixth state of matter, has been observed. The previously known states of matter include solid, liquid, gas, plasma, and the Bose–Einstein condensate. In the traditional use of the words from our field of...
متن کاملThe Color Glass Condensate and the Glasma: Two Lectures
These two lectures concern the Color Glass Condensate and the Glasma. These are forms of matter which might be studied in high energy hadronic collisions. The Color Glass Condensate is high energy density gluonic matter. It constitutes the part of a hadron wavefunction important for high energy processes. The Glasma is matter produced from the Color Glass Condensate in the first instants after ...
متن کاملSaturation Physics and Deuteron–Gold Collisions at RHIC
We present a review of parton saturation/Color Glass Condensate physics in the context of deuteron-gold (d+Au) collisions at RHIC. Color Glass Condensate physics is a universal description of all high energy hadronic and nuclear interactions. It comprises classical (McLerran-Venugopalan model and Glauber-Mueller rescatterings) and quantum evolution (JIMWLK and BK equations) effects both in smal...
متن کاملThe color glass condensate and small x physics: 4 lectures,” Lect
The Color Glass Condensate is a state of high density gluonic matter which controls the high energy limit of hadronic matter. These lectures begin with a discussion of general problems of high energy strong interactions. The infinite momentum frame description of a single hadron at very small x is developed, and this picture is applied to the description of ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions....
متن کاملThe Color Glass Condensate at RHIC
The Color Glass Condensate formalism and its application to high energy heavy ion collisions at RHIC are discussed. We argue that the RHIC data supports the view that the Color Glass Condensate provides the initial conditions for goldgold collisions at RHIC while final state (Quark Gluon Plasma) effects are responsible for the high pt suppression in mid rapidity. At forward rapidities in deuter...
