The Color Glass Condensate and Small x Physics: 4 Lectures
High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract
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. Recent developments in the renormalization group description of the Color Glass Condensate are reviewed.
