Abstract
In the CGC framework the initial stages of a heavy ion collision at high energy are described as “glasma” field configurations. The initial condition for these evolving fields depends, in the CGC effective theory, on a probability distribution for color charges. The energy dependence of this distribution can be calculated from the JIMWLK renormalization group equation. We discuss recent work [1] on a practical implementation of the running coupling constant in the Langevin method of solving the JIMWLK equation.
