We show that the gluon distribution function for very large nuclei may be computed for small transverse momentum as correlation functions of an ultraviolet finite two dimensional Euclidean field theory. This computation is valid to all orders in the density of partons per unit area, but to lowest order in $\alpha_s$. The gluon distribution function is proportional to $1/x$, and the effect of the finite density of partons is to modify the dependence on transverse momentum for small transverse momentum.

    A light-front Hamiltonian method evolves a quark through Glasma fields to obtain transverse momentum broadening and jet quenching consistent with classical scaling in saturation momentum.

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

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    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...

  3. When JIMWLK evolution really matters: the example of incoherent diffraction

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    JIMWLK evolution gives larger incoherent diffraction cross sections than the Gaussian approximation for photon-nucleus collisions because the latter is invalid for four-gluon starting correlators.

    Heavy meson pair correlations in forward pA collisions are computed in the CGC framework with Sudakov resummation, reproducing LHCb data and showing a mass hierarchy in R_pA that strengthens at higher rapidity.
