Description
Our common knowledge that a proton is made of just three quarks is not true if one looks at the proton which undergoes high-energy scattering with any kind of target. QCD rather predicts that the proton in high-energy scattering looks like a bunch of huge numbers of 'gluons', which are gauge particles mediating interaction between quarks. Such dense gluonic states are called 'Color Glass Condensates (CGC)'. I will explain how the CGC appears at high energies and show several experimental evidences for that. I will also discuss the importance of CGC in the physics of LHC and high-energy cosmic rays.
