Gluon propagation inside a high-energy nucleus
read the original abstract
We show that, in the light-cone gauge, it is possible to derive in a very simple way the solution of the classical Yang-Mills equations for the collision between a nucleus and a proton. One important step of the calculation is the derivation of a formula that describes the propagation of a gluon in the background color field of the nucleus. This allows us to calculate observables in pA collisions in a more straightforward fashion than already proposed. We discuss also the comparison between light-cone gauge and covariant gauge in view of further investigations involving higher order corrections.

Squeezed-state radiation in shockwave scattering: QCD-Gravity double copy
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...

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