We determine the initial condition of the Balitsky-Kovchegov evolution equation at next-to-leading order (NLO) accuracy using HERA deep inelastic scattering data. Posterior distributions characterizing the initial condition are extracted using Bayesian inference. The total cross section and charm quark production data from HERA are found to provide stringent constraints on the posterior. These distributions quantify the uncertainty in the initial condition and serve as necessary input for propagating uncertainties to all NLO calculations within the Color Glass Condensate framework.

  1. Diffractive deep inelastic scattering in the dipole picture: the $q\bar{q}g$ contribution in exact kinematics

    hep-ph 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Exact q qbar g contribution to diffractive DIS structure functions in the dipole model shows prior high-Q2 and high-MX2 approximations are inadequate and that soft quark terms are comparably important at high Q2.

  2. Unbiased Data-Driven Determination of the Nuclear Dipole Amplitude in the Color Glass Condensate

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    The 208Pb dipole amplitude is learned from R_pPb and coherent J/ψ photoproduction data with the BK equation embedded in training, giving Q²_s0(Pb)/Q²_s0(p) = 3.17 and an MV-type initial condition.

  3. Simultaneous Color Glass Condensate fit to deep inelastic scattering and forward hadron production at HERA, RHIC, and the LHC

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    A simultaneous LO CGC/BK fit to HERA DIS and RHIC/LHC forward hadron production reaches χ²/dof≈1, with complementary constraints and RHIC K-factors roughly twice those at the LHC.

  4. Confronting Color Glass Condensate at next-to-leading order with HERA data

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A Bayesian global fit at full NLO+NLL accuracy extracts the posterior distribution for the non-perturbative initial condition of the NLO Balitsky-Kovchegov equation from HERA inclusive and charm data.

  5. AI-assisted modeling and Bayesian inference of unpolarized quark transverse momentum distributions from Drell-Yan data

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    An AI-assisted Bayesian framework extracts TMD PDFs from global Drell-Yan data using surrogate models for scalable MCMC sampling.
