A brief review of major theoretical aspects of color glass condensate physics is given.
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…

We explain the main ideas of the color glass condensate in high energy collisions. Different approaches to the problem are outlined with emphasis on the resummation approach. We present evidence that the color glass condensate can be…
The high energy limit of QCD is controlled by the small-$x$ 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…

At very high energies or small values of Bjorken x, the density of partons, per unit transverse area, in hadronic wavefunctions becomes very large leading to a saturation of partonic distributions. When the scale corresponding to the…

I argue that the physics of the scattering of very high energy strongly interacting particles is controlled by a new, universal form of matter, the Color Glass Condensate. This matter is the dominant contribution to the low x part of a…
