Abstract

We present a summary of the physics of gluon saturation and non-linear QCD evolution at small values of parton momentum fraction xx in the proton and nucleus in the context of recent experimental results at HERA and RHIC. The rich physics potential of low-x studies at the LHC, especially in the forward region, is discussed and some benchmark measurements in pp, pA and AA collisions are introduced.
