abstract

We present an explicit and simple form of the renormalization group equation which governs the quantum evolution of the effective theory for the Color Glass Condensate (CGC). This is a functional Fokker-Planck equation for the probability density of the color field which describes the CGC in the covariant gauge. It is equivalent to the Euclidean time evolution equation for a second quantized current-current Hamiltonian in two spatial dimensions. The quantum corrections are included in the leading log approximation, but the equation is fully non-linear with respect to the generally strong background field. In the weak field limit, it reduces to the BFKL equation, while in the general non-linear case it generates the evolution equations for Wilson-line operators previously derived by Balitsky and Kovchegov within perturbative QCD.

Forward trijet production in proton-nucleus collisions: gluon initiated channel

hep-ph · 2026-04-08 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

The gluon-initiated trijet channel in forward pA collisions is calculated at leading order in CGC, revealing a four-gluon vertex structure matching instantaneous terms and showing how rapidity and collinear divergences feed into JIMWLK evolution and PDF/FF kernels.
