CGC formalism with two sources

Abstract

In this work we extend the JIMWLK formalism to the two-source problem. The S-matrix for the forward scattering can be written in a double functional integral representation which involves the usual functional integral for the gluon field and the spin path integral for the external color sources. Modifications needed in the light-cone gauge are discussed. Using our source term we compute the produced gluon field and discuss the duality of the high energy evolution kernel in the pA collision.
