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.

This is a review of applications of the Color Glass Condensate (CGC) to the phenomenology of relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The initial stages of the collision can be understood in terms of the nonperturbatively strong nonlinear glasma color fields. We discuss how the CGC framework can and has been used to compute properties of the initial conditions of AA collisions. In particular this has led to recent progress in understanding multiparticle correlations, which can provide a directly observable signal of the properties of the initial stage of the collision process.

In this paper, we review recent progress in the description of unpolarized transverse-momentum-dependent (TMD) gluon distributions at small [Formula: see text] in the color glass condensate (CGC) effective theory. We discuss the origin of the nonuniversality of TMD gluon distributions in the TMD factorization framework and in the CGC theory and the equivalence of the two approaches in their overlapping domain of validity. We show some applications of this equivalence, including recent results on the behavior of TMD gluon distributions at small [Formula: see text], and on the study of gluon saturation. We discuss recent advances in the unification of the TMD evolution and the nonlinear small-[Formula: see text] evolution of gluon distributions.
