The Energy Dependence of the Saturation Momentum from RG Improved BFKL Evolution
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the energy dependence of the saturation momentum in the context of the collinearly improved Leading and Next to Leading BFKL evolution, and in the presence of saturation boundaries. We find that the logarithmic derivative of the saturation momentum is varying very slowly with Bjorken-x, and its value is in agreement with the GolecBiernat and Wüsthoff model in the relevant x region. The scaling form of the amplitude for dipole-dipole or dipole-hadron scattering in the perturbative side of the boundary is given.

We study BFKL evolution and, in particular, the energy dependence of the saturation momentum in the presence of saturation boundaries limiting the region of linear BFKL evolution. In the case of fixed coupling evolution we confirm the previously found exponential term in Q s (Y) and determine the prefactor Y and α dependences. In the running coupling case we find Y 1/6 corrections to the Y 1/2 ...
متن کاملCCFM Evolution with Unitarity Corrections
We considerably extend our previous analysis of the implementation of an absorptive boundary condition, which mimics saturation effects, on the linear CCFM evolution. We present detailed results for the evolution of the unintegrated gluon density in the presence of saturation and extract the energy dependence of the emerging saturation momentum. We show that CCFM and BFKL evolution lead to almo...
متن کاملNuclear A - dependence near the Saturation Boundary 1
The A-dependence of the saturation momentum and the scaling behavior of the scattering of a small dipole on a nuclear target are studied in the McLerran-Venugopalan model, in fixed coupling BFKL dynamics and in running coupling BFKL dynamics. In each case, we find scaling not too far from the saturation boundary, although for fixed coupling evolution the scaling function for large A is not the ...
متن کاملEnergy Conservation and Saturation in Small-x Evolution
Important corrections to BFKL evolution are obtained from non-leading contributions and from non-linear effects due to unitarisation or saturation. It has been difficult to estimate the relative importance of these effects, as NLO effects are most easily accounted for in momentum space while unitarisation and saturation are easier in transverse coordinate space. An essential component of the NL...
متن کاملBFKL and CCFM evolutions with saturation boundary
We perform numerical studies of the BFKL and CCFM equations for the unintegrated gluon distribution supplemented with an absorptive boundary which mimics saturation. For the BFKL equation, this procedure yields the same results for the saturation momentum and the gluon distribution above saturation as the non–linear BK equation, for both fixed and running coupling, and for all the considered en...
