Wee partons in large nuclei: from virtual dream to hard reality
Raju Venugopalan
Abstract
We construct a weak coupling, many body theory to compute parton distributions in large nuclei for x A-1/3. The wee partons are highly coherent, non--Abelian Weizsäcker--Williams fields. Radiative corrections to the classical results are discussed. The parton distributions for a single nucleus provide the initial conditions for the dynamical evolution of matter formed in ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions.
