The paper by Larry McLerran and Raju Venugopalan discusses the computation of quark and gluon distribution functions for very large nuclei, particularly at small Bjorken \(x\). They argue that weak coupling methods can be applied to such systems, where the density of quarks and gluons per unit area per unit rapidity is large, making the strong coupling constant small. The authors present a formalism that treats the valence quarks inside the nucleus as static sources of charge moving along the light cone, and they compute the lowest-order gluon distribution function, which is of the Weiszacker-Williams form. They also outline how to compute quark distribution functions in this kinematic region and discuss the possibility of extending the validity of the weak coupling approximation to smaller values of \(k_t\). The paper includes a detailed review of the light cone quantization method and applies it to the problem of computing ground state properties of large nuclei, showing that the distribution functions can be computed as a many-body problem with a modified propagator and coupling constant. The authors conclude by discussing potential challenges and future directions, including the infrared structure of the theory and the relationship between their computed distribution functions and those measured in deep inelastic scattering.The paper by Larry McLerran and Raju Venugopalan discusses the computation of quark and gluon distribution functions for very large nuclei, particularly at small Bjorken \(x\).
