I discuss recent progress in understanding the high-energy evolution in QCD, which points towards a remarkable correspondence with the reaction-diffusion problem of statistical physics. This enables us to determine the asymptotic behaviour…
We show that high energy scattering is a statistical process essentially similar to reaction-diffusion in a system made of a finite number of particles. The Balitsky-JIMWLK equations correspond to the time evolution law for the particle…
When hadrons scatter at high energies, strong color fields, whose dynamics is described by quantum chromodynamics (QCD), are generated at the interaction point. If one represents these fields in terms of partons (quarks and gluons), the…
The scattering of two hadronic objects at high energy is similar to a reaction-diffusion process described by the stochastic Fisher-Kolmogorov equation. This basic observation enables us to derive universal properties of the scattering…
When hadrons scatter at high energies, strong color fields, whose dynamics is described by quantum chromodynamics (QCD), are generated at the interaction point. If one represents these fields in terms of partons (quarks and gluons), the…
It has been proposed that the energy evolution of QCD amplitudes in the high-energy regime falls in the universality class of reaction-diffusion processes. We review the arguments for this correspondence, and we explain how it enables one…
In this talk I discuss the high energy asymptotics of QCD scattering, and its similarity to a reaction-diffusion process. I also discuss detailed numerical studies of the mean field approximation to this picture, i.e., the…
Recent progress in understanding general properties of high energy scattering near the unitarity limit, where high density gluon components of the wavefunction are dominant, is reviewed. The similarity of the QCD problem and that of…
High energy scattering in the QCD parton model was recently shown to be a reaction-diffusion process, and thus to lie in the universality class of the stochastic Fisher-Kolmogorov-Petrovsky-Piscounov equation. We recall that the latter…
We propose a general method to study the solutions to nonlinear QCD evolution equations, based on a deep analogy with the physics of traveling waves. In particular, we show that the transition to the saturation regime of high energy QCD is…
High parton density effects with energy obey non-linear QCD evolution equations for which exact solutions are not known. The mathematical class to which the non-linear Balitsky-Kovchegov equation belongs is identified, proving the existence…
A system of two cubic reaction-diffusion equations for two independent gene frequencies arising in population dynamics is studied. Depending on values of coefficients, all possible Lie and $Q$-conditional (nonclassical) symmetries are…
In this paper we perform a numerical study of the tranverse expansion of hadronic scattering amplitudes in the dipole picture of high energy QCD. We go beyond the mean field approximation by including fluctuations and also wave function…
We consider a family of models describing the evolution under selection of a population whose dynamics can be related to the propagation of noisy traveling waves. For one particular model, that we shall call the exponential model, the…
High energy scattering is considered within the framework of the QCD dipole model formulated as a classical branching process. Starting from Mueller's generating functional we derive the high energy evolution law for the scattering…
We investigate the behaviour of the QCD evolution towards high-energy, in the diffusive approximation, in the limit where the fluctuation contribution is large. Our solution for the equivalent stochastic Fisher equation predicts the…
We investigate the profound relation between the equations of biological evolution and quantum mechanics by writing a biologically inspired equation for the stochastic dynamics of an ensemble of particles. Interesting behavior is observed…
In the framework of a toy model which possesses the main features of QCD in the high energy limit, we conduct a numerical study of scattering amplitudes constructed from parton splittings and projectile-target multiple interactions, in a…
The master equation describing non-equilibrium one-dimensional problems like diffusion limited reactions or critical dynamics of classical spin systems can be written as a Schr\"odinger equation in which the wave function is the probability…
Stochastic models of diffusion with excluded-volume effects are used to model many biological and physical systems at a discrete level. The average properties of the population may be described by a continuum model based on partial…
