Notation: Light Cone(LC) coordinate: Light Cone gauge: Rapidity:

Pseudorapidity: Feynman, Bjorken x:

I. What is CGC ? - Color: colored particles - Glass: a) disordered b) Solid in short time scale but Liquid in long time scale. - Condensate: highly dense, ~ 1/alpha_s
6
II. Physics Related to the CGC A. Total Cross Section of Hadron-Hadron: 1) Intrinsically non-perturbative even though E increase 2) Regge theory in 70s but not so satisfactory 3) Froissart bound: Unitarity of scattering matrix 4) Why the unitarity saturated. 5) Is this understandable from QCD?
8
B. Particle Production 1) Can we compute dN/dy even at y=0? 2) Feynman scaling: Cut the green in half (low energy) and move to red (high energy) distribution. They match!!! i.e. independent of energy As E goes up, the small x degree of freedom fills in while the large x held fixed Some kind of RG property shows up.
11
C. DIS(Electron-Hadron) 1) Electron emits virtual photon fluctuate into quark-antiquark interact with partons in hadron 2) The rapidity distribution for gluons of hadron is almost same as the distribution for produced hadrons after hadron-hadron collision(or heavy ion collision) 3) However, ZEUS data show sharp increase in rapidity distribution SMALL-x problem.
14
4) The saturation must be shown up!!! the saturation momentum: 5) The saturation momentum increase as E increases Once Weak coupling: Hope gluon, quark distribution can be calculable. However, it is highly dense so that perturbation cannot be applicable
16
D. Geometrical Scaling Structure functions from DIS depend on (in general) (x, Q^2/Lambda^2), but the function depend only on at x < 0.01 (HERA), i.e. independent of x. Some kind of scaling at small x.
17
E. Universality 1) Weak universality: At sufficient high energy, physics must depend on the specific properties of hadron(nuclei) via saturation scale Q_s(x,A), i.e. With same Q_s, they have to have same properties. 2) Strong universality: Statistical sense. The behavior of correlation function is given by universal critical exponents.
18
III. Classical Theory (MV) A. Basics WHAT WE WILL SOLVE: : Classical soft gluon field : Color current of fast partons in x^+ direction sitting at x^- = 0
20
-Softer partons have larger energies(note that) thus shorter life-times time-independent color source in view of soft field: treat the density as a classical random variable with some probability, weight function, as functional: Using,
21
- The Gluon correlation functions at scale for example, - Gluon distributions: : # of gluons having longitudinal momentum between and and transverse size The gluon distribution with transverse momenta per unit rapidity:
22
To get the readable form: Consider the equation of motion in light cone gauge without source: for + component, therefore, The quantization: with the commutation relation,
23
The gluon density with Fock space operators, Using that In coordinate space, This form is gauge dependent!!!!!
24
Now inserting WILSON LINES: where the Wilson line is We choose the path such that along the horizontal line, along the vertical line, (retarded condition) IN RESULT,
25
Another interesting quantity: number of gluons per unit rapidity and transverse phase space: And for homogeneous transverse space,
26
B. Formal Solution of 가. Anticipating a solution, so A^i are pure gauge, 나. Now choose Covariant gauge: ( 가 ) 항을 이용, 다. Formal Solution
27
Thus, 라. Gauge transforming to LC-gauge Since, we get the equation with solution, 마. Classical source is dummy and ‘measure’ and ‘weight function’ are gauge invariant so that
28
C. MV approximation Independent color sources: A*N_c valence quarks Consider a tube of transverse area: The number of valence quarks in the tube:

따라서, 한편, 위의 correlator 들은 ( 마 ) 항을 이용할 때 다음의 weight function 을 사용하면 유도될 수 있다,
30
Linearized Solution: gluon field 에 대한 운동방정식에서 선형항만 사용하여 풀면,
31
Exact and non-linear solution: 이 경우 다음의 correlator 계산이 필수, 여기서 기본 propagator 는 위의 correlator 를 전개한 후 위의 propagator 을 이용하여 contraction 을 계산하면,
32
여기서, using

Final Solution:
