Scattering from an external field in quantum chromodynamics at high energies: From foundations to interdisciplinary connections

We review the factorization of the $S$-matrix elements in the context of particle scattering off an external field, which can serve as a model for the field of a large nucleus. The factorization takes the form of a convolution of light cone wave functions describing the physical incoming and outgoin...
