High gluon densities in heavy ion collisions

JP Blaizot - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
The early stages of heavy ion collisions are dominated by high density systems of gluons
that carry each a small fraction x of the momenta of the colliding nucleons. A distinguishing …
