I will give a brief review on the recent progress in strong field physics and its application to early time dynamics of heavy ion collisions. In high-energy heavy ion collisions, there appear two different strong fields: electromagnetic fields and color Yang-Mills fields called glasma. Glasma is responsible for the thermalization process, while the strong electric fields will play a role of...

In this talk, I would like to discuss the recent theoretical progress towards the exploration of the gluon saturation phenomenon in $pA$ collisions at both RHIC and the LHC.
Two important pillars of this exploration are the single inclusive forward hadron productions and forward dihadron correlations, which have both been computed up to one-loop order within the small-$x$ $k_t$ factorization...
