abstract

At very high energies, in the infinite momentum frame and in light cone gauge, a hard scale proportional to the high parton density arises in QCD. In an effective theory of QCD at small $x$, this scale is of order $\alpha_S\mu$, where $\mu$ is simply related to the gluon density at higher rapidities. The ab initio real time evolution of small $x$ modes in a nuclear collision can be described consistently in the classical effective theory and various features of interest can be studied non-perturbatively. In this paper, we discuss results from a real time lattice computation of the production of gluon jets at very high energies. At very large transverse momenta, $k_t\geq \mu$, our results match the predictions from pQCD based mini-jet calculations. Novel non-perturbative behaviour of the small $x$ modes is seen at smaller momenta $k_t\sim \alpha_S\mu$. Gauge invariant energy-energy correlators are used to estimate energy distributions evolving in proper time.

The n-particle gluon radiation spectrum in shockwave scattering is a generalized Susskind-Glogower squeezed coherent state, and multi-graviton radiation follows similarly via double copy, with feasible large squeezing parameters ~ln(n_bar) leading to enhanced quantum noise in gravitational wave sp

Energy-energy correlators in heavy-ion collisions exhibit classical hydrodynamic scaling from collective flow at large angles within the small-angle regime, collective modes at smaller angles, and light-ray OPE at even smaller angles.
