The Colored Glass Condensate and Extreme QCD

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2017-08-23 v1

Abstract

The high energy limit of QCD is controlled by the small-xx part of a hadron wavefunction. I argue that this part is universal to all hadrons and is composed of a new form of matter: a Colored Glass Condensate. This matter is weakly interacting at very small xx, but is non-perturbative because of the highly occupied boson states which compose the condensate. Such a matter might be studied in high energy lepton-hadron or hadron-hadron interactions.
