It has been found that the gluon density inside the proton grows rapidly at small momentum fractions. Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) predicts that this growth can be regulated by nonlinear effects, ultimately leading to gluon saturation.…
The residual gauge symmetry (RGS) is the local gauge symmetry remaining even after imposing the gauge fixing condition. Although this symmetry is ``spontaneously broken'' in the perturbative vacuum, it can be restored in the true confining…
