Glittering Glasmas

Understand

We compute the production of gluons from Glasma color flux tubes.

• We calculate the probability distribution of gluon multiplicities arising from the distribution of color electric and color magnetic flux tubes found in the Glasma.
• We show that the result corresponds to the negative binomial probability distribution observed in experiments.
• The parameter k that characterizes this distribution is proportional to the number of colors N_c^2-1 and to the number of flux tubes.
