Why the idea is attractive
nContinues the theme
of bulk matter, high density/temperature – a
“gluon plasma”
nCondensed matter
type many body phenomena – condensates
nGluons (bosons!
Interacting bosons) are in a single quantum state
nGluons form a glass
nLong time scale
coming from “frustration”
nRobust calculations
in QCD using reliable “renormalization group”
methods
nA method used (and
trusted) in all branches of physics
nDepends on a single
scale
nLCGC2 = (1/oR2)(dNgluon/dy) ~ 2-D gluon density
