Wilson line operators are infinite gauge factors ordered along the straight lines of the fast moving particles. Scattering amplitudes of proton-Nucleus or Nucleus-Nucleus collisions at high-energy are written in terms of matrix elements of these operators and the energy dependence of such amplitudes is obtained by the evolution equation with respect to the rapidity parameter: the Balitsky-JIMWLK evolution equation. A brief description of the derivation of the Balitsky-JIMWLK evolution equation at leading order and nextto-leading order will be presented.
