Low-x QCD physics from RHIC and HERA to the LHC
Abstract
We present a summary of the physics of gluon saturation and non-linear QCD evolution at small values of parton momentum fraction x in the proton and nucleus in the context of recent experimental results at HERA and RHIC. The rich physics potential of low-x studies at the LHC, especially in the forward region, is discussed and some benchmark measurements in pp, pA and AA collisions are introduced.
