The collinearly-improved Balitsky-Kovchegov equation

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2016-11-23 v1

Abstract

The high-energy evolution in perturbative QCD suffers from a severe lack-of-convergence problem, due to higher order corrections enhanced by double and single transverse logarithms. We resum double logarithms to all orders within the non-linear Balitsky-Kovchegov equation, by taking into account successive soft gluon emissions strongly ordered in lifetime. We further resum single logarithms generated by the first non-singular part of the splitting functions and by the one-loop running of the coupling. The resummed BK equation admits stable solutions, which are used to successfully fit the HERA data at small xx for physically acceptable initial conditions and reasonable values of the fit parameters.
