Abstract
We review recent developments in the field of parton saturation and the Color Glass Condensate. We discuss the classical gluon fields of McLerran-Venugopalan model. We explain how small-x non-linear quantum evolution corrections can be included into the total cross section for deep inelastic scattering. We proceed by reviewing saturation physics predictions for the particle production in p(d)A collisions and conclude by demonstrating how such predictions were confirmed by the RHIC experiments.
