Unitarity at small Bjorken x
read the original abstract
This paper presents a solution to the nonlinear small x ``projectile side'' evolution equations as derived by Balitskii in 1996. The solution is based on functional Fokker-Planck methods. The fixed point at small x is explicitly calculated and all correlation functions in this limit are determined. They show clear saturation and unitarization properties. Scaling laws that hold during the saturation phase and throughout the whole course of the evolution are established. The corresponding Langevin equations are given as a basis for numerical simulations opening the field for future studies of dynamical issues of the evolution not analytically accessible. The methods used may be extended to the ``target side'' equations of Jalilian-Marian, Kovner, Leonidov and Weigert.

When JIMWLK evolution really matters: the example of incoherent diffraction
JIMWLK evolution gives larger incoherent diffraction cross sections than the Gaussian approximation for photon-nucleus collisions because the latter is invalid for four-gluon starting correlators.

Sub-eikonal Structure of High-Energy Deep-Inelastic Scattering
Sub-eikonal corrections to dipole structure functions F_L, F_T and the g1-related asymmetry are derived in a gauge-invariant dipole operator basis, with F_L shown to be finite and the others logarithmically divergent.

On the Two $R$-Factors in the Small-$x$ Shockwave Formalism
Replacing the rapidity argument of the dipole amplitude with ln min{1/|x|, 1/|ξ|} and refining initial conditions for non-linear evolution can eliminate two R-factors in small-x shockwave calculations.
