Gluons in a Color-Neutral Nucleus

Abstract

We improve the McLerran-Venugopalan model by introducing a charge-density correlation function which is consistent with the observation that nucleons carry no net color charge. The infrared divergence in the transverse coordinates that was present in the McLerran-Venugoplan model is eliminated by the enforcement of color neutrality.
