Abstract

We show that the weight functional for color sources in the classical theory of the Color Glass Condensate includes a term which generates Odderon excitations. Remarkably, the classical origin of these excitations can be traced to the random walk of partons in the two dimensional space spanned by the SU(3) Casimirs. This term is naturally suppressed for a large nucleus at high energies.
