From percolation to the Color Glass Condensate

Abstract

I review the problem of parton saturation and its implications through three in principal different approaches, but somewhat related: saturation in a geometrical approach, QCD saturation through the Color Glass Condensate and perturbative Pomeron approach with initial conditions. I also make some comments about how that could be related to a Quark Gluon Plasma formation.
