The CGC and the Glasma: Two Lectures at the Yukawa Insitute

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2011-06-02 v1

Abstract

These lectures concern the theory of the Color Glass Condensate (CGC) and the Glasma. These are forms of matter that control the earliest times in hadronic collisions. I will motivate the CGC and Glasma from simple physical considerations, and provide a sketchy derivation from QCD. There will be some discussion of experimental tests of these ideas.
