The CSS Hamiltonian: high energy evolution of rapidity dependent observables

Abstract

We consider evolution of observables which depend on a small but fixed value of longitudinal momentum fraction xx, to high rapidity, such that η>ln1/x\eta>\ln 1/x. We show that this evolution is not given by the JIMWLK (or BK) equation. We derive the evolution Hamiltonian - HCSSJIMWLKH_{CSS-JIMWLK} which generates this evolution in the cases of dilute and dense projectile wave function. The two limits yield identical results for HCSSJIMWLKH_{CSS-JIMWLK}. We show that the resulting evolution for the gluon TMD is identical to the (double logarithmic) perturbative Collins-Soper-Sterman evolution equation in the longitudinal resolution parameter at a fixed and very large transverse resolution.
