We predict heavy quark production cross sections in Deep Inelastic Scattering at high energy by applying the Color Glass Condensate effective theory. We demonstrate that when the calculation is performed consistently at next-to-leading order accuracy with massive quarks it becomes possible, for the first time in the dipole picture with perturbatively calculated center-of-mass energy evolution, to simultaneously describe both light and heavy quark production data at small $x_\mathrm{Bj}$. We furthermore show how the heavy quark cross section data provides additional strong constraints on the extracted non-perturbative initial condition for the small-$x_\mathrm{Bj}$ evolution equations.

  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. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Physics-Informed Global Extraction of the Universal Small-$x$ Dipole Amplitude

    hep-ph 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0

    A nonparametric PINN-constrained dipole amplitude simultaneously describes HERA total/charm DIS and J/psi photoproduction while maintaining Fourier positivity, unlike analytic MV-type fits.
