Color-glass condensate
Color-glass condensate (CGC) is a type of
"Color" in the name "color-glass condensate" refers to a type of charge that
The color-glass condensate describes an
The color-glass condensate is important because it is proposed as a universal form of matter that describes the properties of all high-energy, strongly interacting particles. It has simple properties that follow from first principles in the theory of strong interactions, quantum chromodynamics. It has the potential to explain many unsolved problems such as how particles are produced in high-energy collisions, and the distribution of matter itself inside of these particles.
Researchers at CERN believe they have created color-glass condensates during collisions of
Erroneous description in term of hadronic pancakes or gluonic wall
The high density of gluon seen during the collision is often explained by
- Such description depends on the fundamental description using fictitious forces such as the Coriolis force.
- Penrose–Terrell effect.
A correct description of the collision can be given using light-front wave functions,[5][6] which are frame-independent.
