Abstract
Considering the Balitsky-Kovchegov QCD evolution equation in full momentum space, we derive the travelling wave solutions expressing the nonlinear saturation constraints on the dipole scattering amplitude at non-zero momentum transfer. A phenomenological application to elastic vector meson production shows the compatibility of data with the QCD prediction: an enhanced saturation scale at intermediate momentum transfer.
