Saturation, traveling waves and fluctuations

Abstract

In this talk I discuss the high energy asymptotics of QCD scattering, and its similarity to a reaction-diffusion process. I also discuss detailed numerical studies of the mean field approximation to this picture, i.e., the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation.

Comments: 5 pages. Talk presented at the DIS 2005 workshop, Madison, Wisconsin, and at the EDS05 conference, Blois, France
