Small x-Physics and Glasma Dynamics in Ultra-Relativistic Collisions - Lecture 1

Explore the intricacies of small x-physics and Glasma dynamics in ultra-relativistic collisions through this comprehensive lecture, the first in a series. Delve into the fundamental concepts and theoretical frameworks that underpin these complex phenomena in high-energy physics. Gain insights into the behavior of particles and fields in extreme conditions, and understand the role of small x-physics in describing the initial stages of heavy-ion collisions. Examine the formation and evolution of the Glasma, a highly non-equilibrium state of matter created in these collisions. Learn about the latest research and developments in this cutting-edge field from an expert in the subject. Enhance your understanding of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and its applications in describing the behavior of matter under extreme conditions.
