The Color Glass Condensate: An Intuitive Physical Description

  • 1. Physics Department PO Box 5000, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, NY 11973 (United States)

Description

I argue that the scattering of very high energy strongly interacting particles is controlled by a new, universal form of matter, the Color Glass Condensate. This matter is predicted by QCD and explains the saturation of gluon densites at small x. I motivate the existence of this matter and describe some of its properties
