Mueller's dipole formulation of onium-onium scattering is used to study unitarity corrections to the BFKL power growth at high energies. After a short discussion of the spatial distribution of colour dipoles in a heavy quarkonium and the associated fluctuations, results are presented showing that the one and two-pomeron contributions to the total cross section are the same at a rapidity $Y \simeq 14$. Above this rapidity the large fluctuations in the onium wave function cause the multiple pomeron series to diverge. Resumming the series allows one to show that unitarity corrections set in gradually for the total cross section, which is dominated by rare, large, configurations of the onia. The elastic cross section comes mostly from much smaller impact parameters and has significant unitarity corrections starting at a rapidity $Y\simeq 8$.

    The Shannon entropy of dipole multiplicities from the full Levin–Lublinsky equation in DIS reproduces the H1 hadron entropy, growing linearly with ln(1/x) and described by S = ln(2/3⟨n⟩) + 0.85.
