We show that the HERA data for the inclusive structure function F_2(x,Q^2) for x < 0.01 and 0.045 < Q^2 < 45 GeV^2 can be well described within the color dipole picture, with a simple analytic expression for the dipole-proton scattering amplitude, which is an approximate solution to the non-linear evolution equations in QCD. For dipole sizes less than the inverse saturation momentum 1/Q_s(x), the scattering amplitude is the solution to the BFKL equation in the vicinity of the saturation line. It exhibits geometric scaling and scaling violations by the diffusion term. For dipole sizes larger than 1/Q_s(x), the scattering amplitude saturates to one. The fit involves three parameters: the proton radius R, the value x_0 of x at which the saturation scale Q_s equals 1GeV, and the logarithmic derivative of the saturation momentum \lambda. The value of \lambda extracted from the fit turns out to be consistent with a recent calculation using the next-to-leading order BFKL formalism.

  1. Extraction of the color dipole amplitude with physics-informed neural networks

    hep-ph 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Physics-informed neural networks extract a model-independent color dipole amplitude from inclusive HERA data that predicts exclusive J/ψ photoproduction cross-sections without parameter retuning.

  2. Collinearly Improved Balitsky-Kovchegov Evolution of the Gluon Wigner Distribution

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.5 of 10

    Collinearly improved IMST BK evolution moves the elliptic node and reshapes the rapidity and hard-scale dependence of coherent diffractive dijet ⟨cos2φ⟩ relative to LO BK, not just a normalization shift.

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Collinearly improved BK evolution shifts the elliptic node position and alters the rapidity and hard-scale dependence of the coherent dijet cos2φ signal rather than producing a simple normalization change.
