Description
At high energy and/or for large atomic numbers the wave-function of a generic hadron is dominated by gluon modes and saturates. This is the Color Glass Condensate (CGC) and it can manifest itself in Deep Inelastic Scattering and in Proton-Proton and Heavy Ion Collisions. The evolution of the CGC with energy satisfies a Renormalization Group Equation, the JIMWLK equation. We review the theory and the phenomenology of the CGC and we emphasize on recent progress on determining higher-point correlations in the CGC, an essential element for the calculation of particle production.
