In poetry:
Facing the guns, he jokes as well
As any Judge upon the Bench;
Between the crash of shell and shell
His laughter rings along the trench;
He seems immensely tickled by a
Projectile which he calls a "Black Maria."

In science:
Equation (4.1) is the specific form of the phase factor in the l ight cone gauge A− = 0 for a projectile moving in the negative z direction, so that the light cone coordinate x+ = (z + t)/√2 does not change during propagation through the target.

This wave function is the solution of the Dirac equation in the external color field A+ and in the limit of infinite projectile energy.
Jet Quenching in Heavy Ion Collisions
More generally, the eikonal for malism describes the interaction of any set of projectile partons with the target by a color rotation αi → βi of each projectile component i, resulting in an eikonal phase W (xi )αi βi .
Jet Quenching in Heavy Ion Collisions
Lorentz contracted to an infinitesimally thin pancake In the rest frame of the projectile.
Jet Quenching in Heavy Ion Collisions
As a consequence, the projectile cannot change its transverse position during the interaction, it propagates on an eikonal straight-line trajectory.
