Mechanism of gluon saturation

Large x - bremsstrahlunglinear evolution (DGLAP/BFKL)
Small x -gluon recombinationnon-linear evolution(BK/JIMWLK)
Saturation scale QS(x) - dynamical scale below which non-linear (“higher twist”) QCD dynamics is dominant

CGC: Classical effective theory of QCD describingdynamical gluon fields + static color sources in non-linear regime
o Renormalization group equations (JIMWLK/BK) describe how the QCD dynamics changes with energy
o A universal saturation scale QS arises naturally in the theory
The Color Glass Condensate
In the saturation regime: Strongest fields in nature!

Saturation scale grows with energyTypical gluon momenta are large
Typical gluon kT in hadron/nuclear wave function
Bulk of high energy cross-sections:a) obey dynamics of novel non-linear QCD regimeb) Can be computed systematically in weak coupling

Nuclear “oomph” (II): Diffractive DISKowalski,Lappi,Marquet,RV (2008)
Very large fraction of e+A events (~ 25%) are diffractive* - nucleus either intact (“non breakup”) or breaks up into nucleons separated from the hadronic final state by a large rapidity gap
* Results broadly agree on large magnitude of effect with other models albeit details may vary

Can we learn something from the AdS-CFT (QCD) about possible universality between weak coupling strong fields & QCD at strong coupling ?
Remarkably, many results expressed in terms of QS appear universal (see following talk by Sabio Vera)

Particles correlated by transverse flow (or at high pT by opacity effects) - are highly localized transversely, experience same transverse boost

Summary
Non-linear dynamics of QCD strongly enhanced in nuclei
Factorization theorems linking these strong fields in the wavefunction to early time dynamics (Glasma) are becoming available
These strong fields have important consequences and may explain recent remarkable data from RHIC
