Title: The Color Glass Condensate and Glasma

Abstract: 
The Color Glass Condensate and the Glasma are two forms of matter
predicted by the theory of strong interactions, Quantum Chromodynamics
(QCD). They involve gluons at energy densities which are orders of
magnitude larger than those of atomic nuclei. The gluons are highly
coherent. I describe and how such matter affects high energy
processes in QCD. The Color Glass Condensate is particularly
interesting because it is the universal form of matter which should
dominate strong interactions at high energy.
