abstract

The small-$x$ deep inelastic scattering in the saturation region is governed by the non-linear evolution of Wilson-lines operators. In the leading logarithmic approximation it is given by the BK equation for the evolution of color dipoles. In the NLO the nonlinear equation gets contributions from quark and gluon loops. In this paper I calculate the quark-loop contribution to small-x evolution of Wilson lines in the NLO. It turns out that there are no new operators at the one-loop level - just as at the tree level, the high-energy scattering can be described in terms of Wilson lines. In addition, from the analysis of quark loops I find that the argument of coupling constant in the BK equation is determined by the size of the parent dipole rather than by the size of produced dipoles. These results are to be supported by future calculation of gluon loops.

    A Bayesian fit to HERA total and charm cross-section data constrains the NLO Balitsky-Kovchegov initial condition and provides posterior samples for uncertainty propagation.

  5. Gluon Saturation Effects in Exclusive Heavy Vector Meson Photoproduction

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Exclusive J/psi photoproduction off Pb targets prefers BK evolution with gluon saturation over linear BFKL evolution, and Upsilon production is predicted to distinguish them only at higher energies.

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Including the proton's finite transverse size in small-x evolution weakens saturation effects compared with impact-parameter-averaged treatments, while lead-target predictions are insensitive to scheme choices once fi...

    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.
