Quantum ChromoDynamics (QCD)
Theory of strong interactions between quarks and gluons (partons)
Quarks: fermions (spin 1/2)
Flavor: up, down, strange,
charm, bottom, top
Color: 3 (up up up)
Gluons: bosons (spin 1)

Parton model
 Bjorken:
but xBj=Q2/S fixed
distribution functions
depend only on xBj
 Feynman:
Parton constituents of proton
are “quasi-free” on interaction
time scale 1/Q << 1/L (interaction
time scale between partons)
Fraction of hadron momentum carried by a parton = xF

distribution functions

But… the phase space density decreases
-the proton becomes more dilute
How about scattering of nuclei?
RHIC, LHC
I) modification of initial state: “nuclear shadowing”
II) modification of hard scattering: multiple scattering
III) modification of fragmentation functions
modification of the nuclear structure functions

DIS in the Regge-Gribov limit: evolution with x
Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipato
Resolving the nucleus/hadron:
Regge-Gribov limit
Radiated gluons have the
same size (1/Q2) - the number
of partons increase due to the
increased longitudinal phase space
Physics of strong fields in QCD, multi-particle productionpossibly discover novel universal properties of theory in this limit

 Gluons are colored
 Random sources evolving on time scales much larger
than natural time scales-very similar to spin glasses
 Bosons with large occupation # ~

The JIMWLK (functional RG) equation

evolution of all
N-point correlation functions with
the 2-point function energy

Rummukainen,Weigert
Can solve JIMWLK in two limits:
I) Strong field: exact scaling - f (Q2/Q2s) for Q < Qs
II) Weak field: perturbative QCD
How does Q_s behave as function of Y?

Signatures of CGC at RHIC
 Multiplicities (dominated by pt < Qs):
energy, rapidity, centrality dependence
 Single particle production: hadrons, photons, dileptons
rapidity, pt, centrality dependence
i) Fixed pt: vary rapidity (evolution in x)
ii) Fixed rapidity: vary pt (transition from dense to dilute)
Two particle production:

CGC: qualitative expectations
Classical (multiple elastic scattering):
pt >> Qs : enhancement
RpA = 1 + (Qs2/pt2) log pt2/L2 + …
RpA (pt ~ Qs) ~ log A
Gelis,Jalilian-Marian
position and height of enhancement are increasing with centrality
Quantum evolution in x: essential as we go to forward rapidity
can show analytically the peak disappears as energy/rapidity grows
and levels off at RpA ~ A-1/6
