Description
Despite decades of research the gluon remains the least known object in QCD. This is dictated by both theoretical and experimental challenges due to the non-trivial dynamics generated by gluons. Understanding of this dynamics is one of the most important problems in QCD. One of the key manifestations of this dynamics is the gluon saturation associated with the non-linear effects in the gluon fields at large energies of collision. The search of the signatures of saturation is one of the main goals of the future Electron-Ion Collider. In my talk I will give an overview of the recent developments in understanding of the saturation placing emphasis on the physics of gluon distributions in nucleons and nuclei.
