A simple derivation of the Jalilian-Marian, Iancu, McLerran, Weigert, Leonidov and Kovner (JIMWLK) equation for the evolution of small-x QCD wavefunctions is given. The derivation makes use of the equivalence between the evolution of a (in general complicated) small-x wavefunction with that of the evolution of the (simple) dipole probing the wavefunction in a high energy scattering.

  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. Nuclear structure and saturation effects from diffractive vector meson production

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Predictions for vector meson production in light-nucleus UPCs show t-differential observables sensitive to nuclear structure models and saturation suppression that grows with nuclear mass and collision energy.
