Scattering of shock waves in QCD
The cross section of heavy-ion collisions is represented as a double
functional integral with the saddle point being the classical solution of the
Yang-Mills equations with boundary conditions/sources in the form of two shock
waves corresponding to the two colliding ions. I develop the expansion of this
classical solution in powers of the commutator of the Wilson lines describing
the colliding particles and calculate the first two terms of the expansion.Comment: 23 pages, 13 figure
