【 摘 要 】

This paper describes some of the implications of the LHC pPb experimental results for understanding the Color Glass Condensate, the Glasma and the thermalized Quark Gluon Plasma. I attempt to outline the scientific issues, various possible explanations about what has been seen, and present ideas on how some of the alternative explanations might be resolved.
