The CGC and the Glasma: Two Lectures at the Yukawa Insitute

Understand

These lectures concern the theory of the Color Glass Condensate (CGC) and the Glasma.

• These are forms of matter that control the earliest times in hadronic collisions.
• I will motivate the CGC and Glasma from simple physical considerations, and provide a sketchy derivation from QCD.
• There will be some discussion of experimental tests of these ideas.
