This is a personal summary of the meeting "Saturation, the Color Glass Condensate and Glasma: What Have we Learned from RHIC?" that took place at BNL in May 2010. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the status of high density QCD and…
The Color Glass Condensate is a theory of the dynamical properties of partons in the Regge limit of QCD: x_{\rm Bj}\to 0$, $Q^2 >> \Lambda_{\rm QCD}^2={\rm fixed} and the center of mass energy squared s\to \infty. We provide a brief…

I give a brief overview of the effective theory for the Color Glass Condensate, which is the high-density gluonic matter which controls high-energy scattering in QCD in the vicinity of the unitarity limit. I concentrate on fundamental…
At very high energies, the high parton densities (characterized by a semi-hard saturation scale \Lambda_s) ensure that parton distributions can be described by a classical effective field theory with remarkable properties analogous to those…
