Heavy ion collisions pose interesting challenges to quantum chromodynamics, because they probe the parton structure of the incoming nuclei at very small longitudinal momentum fractions. Combined with the large size of nuclei, this may lead…

I introduce the concept of the Color Glass Condensate. I review data from HERA and RHIC which suggest that such a universal form of matter has been found.
The high energy limit of QCD is controlled by the small-$x$ part of a hadron wavefunction. We 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…
