The Color Glass Condensate and the Glasma

The Color Glass Condensate is high energy density made of gluons which controls the high energy limit of strong interactions.  I describe its properties. The Color Glass Condensate is associated with the wavefunction of strongly interacting particles.  In the collision of two particles, the CGC is converted into a Glasma, which in heavy ion collisions ultimately evolves into a thermalized Quark Gluon Plasma. I discuss the Glasma and what is known of its properties.
