TLDR
In this paper, high multiplicity events in p+p collisions are studied using the theory of the color glass condensate, and it is shown that intrinsic fluctuations of the proton saturation momentum scale are needed in addition to the sub-nucleonic color charge fluctuations to explain the very large multiplicity tail of distributions in p +p collisions.

The Color Glass Condensate

Edmond Iancu
TL;DR: In this paper, a brief overview of recent theoretical developments within perturbative QCD concerning the high energy dynamics in the vicinity of the unitarity limit is given, along with a detailed discussion of the related theoretical developments.

Novel collective phenomena in high-energy proton–proton and proton–nucleus collisions

TL;DR: The observation of long-range rapidity correlations among particles in high-multiplicity p-p and p-Pb collisions has created new opportunities for investigating novel high-density QCD phenomena in small colliding systems as discussed by the authors.

Evidence of Strong Proton Shape Fluctuations from Incoherent Diffraction.

TL;DR: Measurements of exclusive vector meson production at high energy provide evidence for strong geometric fluctuations of the proton, and will allow detailed future measurements of the incoherent cross section to tightly constrain the fluctuating geometry of the Proton as a function of the parton momentum fraction x.

Revealing proton shape fluctuations with incoherent diffraction at high energy

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that coherent and incoherent cross-sections for the production of mesons are very well reproduced within the color glass condensate framework when strong geometric fluctuations of the gluon distribution in the proton are included.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hierarchy of Azimuthal Anisotropy Harmonics in Collisions of Small Systems from the Color Glass Condensate.

TL;DR: This corrects the article DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.121.052301 to reflect that the paper was originally published in Physical Review Letters, not RevLett, rather than Science, which is correct.

- 01 Aug 2014 - 
TL;DR: The review as discussed by the authors summarizes much of particle physics and cosmology using data from previous editions, plus 3,283 new measurements from 899 Japers, including the recently discovered Higgs boson, leptons, quarks, mesons and baryons.

Big-Bang Nucleosynthesis

TL;DR: In this article, a critical review of the current status of cosmological nucleosynthesis is given, where the baryon-to-photon ratio of deuterium and helium-4 is consistent with the independent determination of $\eta$ from observations of anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background.

Computing quark and gluon distribution functions for very large nuclei.

TL;DR: It is argued that the distribution functions for quarks and gluons are computable at small {ital x} for sufficiently large nuclei, perhaps larger than can be physically realized, and that weak coupling methods may be used.

Operator expansion for high-energy scattering

TL;DR: In this article, the leading logarithms for high-energy scattering can be obtained as a result of evolution of the non-local operators (straight-line ordered gauge factors) with respect to the slope of the straight line.
