The glasma initial state and JIMWLK factorization

Description: We review recent work on understanding the next to leading order corrections to the classical fields that dominate the initial stages of a heavy ion collision. We have recently shown that the leading ln 1/x divergences of these corrections to gluon multiplicities can be factorized into the JIMWLK evolution of the color charge density distributions.

Ekpyrosis and inflationary dynamics in heavy ion collisions: the role of quantum fluctuations

Description: We summarize recent significant progress in the development of a first-principles formalism to describe the formation and evolution of matter in very high energy heavy ion collisions. The key role of quantum fluctuations both before and after a collision is emphasized. Systematic computations are now feasible to address early time isotropization, flow, parton energy loss and the Chiral Magnetic Effect.

VIOLATION OF K-PERPENDICULAR FACTORIZATION IN QUARK PRODUCTION FROM THE COLOR GLASS CONDENSATE.

Description: We examine the violation of the k{sub {perpendicular}}factorization approximation for quark production in high energy proton-nucleus collisions. We comment on its implications for the open charm and quarkonium production in collider experiments.
