TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that large fluctuations in the saturation momentum are necessary to explain the ATLAS and ALICE data on pA collisions measured at the LHC and use a form for the distribution of fluctuations motivated by theoretical studies of the nonlinear evolution equations for the Color Glass Condensate.
Abstract: We argue that large fluctuations in the saturation momentum are necessary to explain the ATLAS and ALICE data on pA collisions measured at the LHC. Using a form for the distribution of fluctuations motivated by theoretical studies of the non-linear evolution equations for the Color Glass Condensate, we find a remarkably good agreement between theory and the measured distributions. If the saturation momentum fluctuates, we argue that the cross section for a proton probe should also fluctuate, consistent with previous observations. Finally we discuss these results and their possible consistency with what is known about multiplicity fluctuations in such collisions, and attempts to describe the ridge effect from properties of the initial state.

TL;DR: In this article, the Gaussian average of Wilson lines inherent in the Color Glass Condensate was computed for the scattering amplitude in the collision of a light projectile and a heavy target.
Abstract: We systematically compute the Gaussian average of Wilson lines inherent in the Color Glass Condensate, which provides useful formulae for evaluation of the scattering amplitude in the collision of a light projectile and a heavy target.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the applications of the Color Glass Condensate formalism to proton (deuteron) nucleus collisions at high energy colliders, such as RHIC and LHC.
Abstract: We review the high parton density limit of QCD and show how the Color Glass Condensate arises at small xbj. We discuss the applications of the Color Glass Condensate formalism to proton (deuteron) nucleus collisions at high energy colliders, such as RHIC and LHC.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the chain of steps required for an event-by-event description of hadron production in high energy hadronic and nuclear collisions, and discuss the physical implications of smearing and problems with the quasi particle picture for the studied processes.
Abstract: Following an explicit example, we present the chain of steps required for an event-by-event description of hadron production in high energy hadronic and nuclear collisions. We start from incoming nuclei, described in the Color Glass Condensate effective theory, whose collision creates the gluon fields of the glasma. Individual gluons are then sampled from the gluon fields' Husimi (smeared Wigner) distributions, and clustered using a new spacetime based algorithm. Clusters are fed into the Herwig event generator, which performs the hadronization, conserving energy and momentum. We discuss the physical implications of smearing and problems with the quasi particle picture for the studied processes. We compute spectra of charged hadrons and identified particles and their azimuthal momentum anisotropies, and address systematic uncertainties on observables, resulting from the general lack of detailed knowledge of the hadronization mechanism.
