Abstract

We present a phenomenological study of the small-x behaviour of gluon distribution function G(x,Q2)G(x,Q^2) at next-to-leading order (NLO) and next-to-next-to-leading order(NNLO) in light of the nonlinear Gribov-Ryskin-Levin-Mueller-Qiu (GLR-MQ)evolution equation by keeping the transverse size of the gluons (1/Q\sim 1/Q) fixed. We consider the NLO and NNLO corrections, of the gluon-gluon spitting function Pgg(z)P_{gg} (z) and strong coupling constant αs(Q2)\alpha_s (Q^2). We have suggested semi-analytical solutions based on Regge like ansatz of gluon density G(x,Q2)G(x,Q^2), which are supposed to be valid in the moderate range of photon virtuality(Q2)(Q^2) and at small Bjorken variable(x)(x). The study of the effects of nonlinearities that arise due to gluon recombination effects at small-x is very interesting, which eventually tames down the unusual growth of gluon densities towards small-x as predicted by the linear DGLAP evolution equation.
