%0 Journal Article %T Factorization and high-energy effective action %A Ian Balitsky %J Physics %D 1998 %I arXiv %R 10.1103/PhysRevD.60.014020 %X I demonstrate that the amplitude for high-energy scattering can be factorized as a convolution of the contributions due to fast and slow fields. The fast and slow fields interact by means of Wilson-line operators -- infinite gauge factors ordered along the straight line. The resulting factorization formula gives a starting point for a new approach to the effective action for high-energy scattering in QCD. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/9812311v1
