I review the physical and mathematical foundations for the theoretical description of the hadron wavefunction at small $x$ as a Colour Glass Condensate. In this context, I discuss the phenomenon of gluon saturation and some of its…
We study systematically the topological charge density and the chiral density correlations in the early stage of high energy nuclear collisions: the intial condition is given by the McLerran-Venugopalan model and the evolution of the gluon…
Parton-parton collisions do not neutralize local color charges in the quark-gluon plasma as they only redistribute the charges among momentum modes. We discuss color diffusion and color conductivity as the processes responsible for the…
We report measurements of magnetoresistance in single-layer graphene as a function of gate voltage (carrier density) at 250 mK. By examining signatures of weak localization (WL) and universal conductance fluctuations (UCF), we find a…
We consider a nonlinear evolution equation recently proposed to describe the small-$x$ hadronic physics in the regime of very high gluon density. This is a functional Fokker-Planck equation in terms of a classical random color source, which…
A simple approach to the many-polaron problem for both weak and intermediate electron-phonon coupling and valid for densities much smaller than those typical of metals is presented. Within the model the total energy, the collective modes…

The ratio of the cross sections for the transversely and longitudinally virtual photon polarizations, $\sigma^{\gamma^{*}p}_{L/T}$, at high photon-hadron energy scattering is studied. I investigate the relationship between the gluon…
We argue that the statistical weight function W[rho] appearing in the McLerran-Venugopalan model of a large nucleus is intrinsically non-Gaussian, even if we neglect quantum corrections. Based on the picture where the nucleus of radius R…
We demonstrate that the multiple gluon emission phase space in the dipole cascade model has a strong linear correlation with the number of gluons emitted. The number of gluons per unit available phase space at a certain resolution scale is…
The JIMWLK equation with a "daughter dipole" running coupling is solved numerically starting from an initial condition given by the McLerran-Venugopalan model. The resulting Wilson line configurations are then used to compute the spectrum…
Correlations between the momenta of the final state hadrons measured in proton or nucleus collisions contain information that sheds light on the initial conditions and evolutionary dynamics of the collision system. These correlation…
We review the Color Glass Condensate effective theory, that describes the gluon content of a high energy hadron or nucleus, in the saturation regime. The emphasis is put on applications to high energy heavy ion collisions. After describing…
We have studied the color dipole picture for the description of the deep inelastic process, mainly the structure functions which are driven directly by the gluon distribution. Estimates for those functions are obtained using the effective…
The early-time evolution of the system generated in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions is dominated by the presence of strong color fields known as Glasma fields. These can be described following the classical approach embodied in the…

We provide the first calculation of two-gluon production at mid-rapidity in ultra-peripheral collisions in the Color Glass Condensate framework. To estimate systematic uncertainty associated with poor understanding of the wave function of…
The size of gluon occupancies, or equivalently the nuclear gluon TMD, at gluon transverse momentum $k_\perp \le Q_s(Y)$ is evaluated. Without Sudakov corrections the occupations can become arbitrarily large while Sudakov effects lead to…
