A new approach to global QCD analysis is developed. The main ingredients are two QCD-based evolution equations. The first one is the Balitsky-Kovchegov nonlinear equation, which sums higher twists while preserving unitarity. The second…
QCD factorization takes different forms in the large-x and small-x regimes. At large-x, collinear factorization leads to the DGLAP evolution equation, while at small-x, rapidity factorization results in the BFKL equation. To unify these…
Scaling violation of inclusive jet production at small-$x$ in hadron scattering with increasing total collision energy is discussed. Perturbative QCD based on the factorisation theorem for hard processes and GLAPD evolution equations…
We show that a resummation model for the evolution kernel at small x creates a bridge between the weak and strong couplings. The resummation model embodies DGLAP and BFKL anomalous dimensions at leading logarithmic orders, as well as a…
We outline a general method for obtaining the solution to the ($t=0$) BFKL equation in the presence of transverse momentum cutoffs. A lower cutoff allows one to avoid integration over nonperturbative momenta and an upper one is needed from…

We present the exact and precise (~0.1%) numerical solution of the QCD evolution equations for the parton distributions in a wide range of $Q$ and $x$ using Monte Carlo (MC) method, which relies on the so-called Markovian algorithm. We…
We investigate factorisation at small x using a variety of analytical and numerical techniques. Previous results on factorisation in collinear models are generalised to the case of the full BFKL equation, and illustrated in the example of a…
It is well understood that the leading logarithmic approximation for the amplitudes of high energy processes is insufficient and that the next-to-leading logarithmic effects are very large and lead to instability of the solution. The…
We present a determination of the parton distribution functions of the proton in which NLO and NNLO fixed-order calculations are supplemented by NLLx small-x resummation. Deep inelastic structure functions are computed consistently at…
We summarize our recent result for a splitting function for small x evolution which includes resummed small x logarithms deduced from the leading order BFKL equation with the inclusion of running coupling effects. We compare this improved…
We propose a matrix evolution equation in (x,kt)-space for flavour singlet, unintegrated quark and gluon densities, which generalizes DGLAP and BFKL equations in the relevant limits. The matrix evolution kernel is constructed so as to…
The BFKL and the unified angular-ordered equations are solved to determine the gluon distribution at small $x$. The impact of kinematic constraints is investigated. Predictions are made for observables sensitive to the gluon at small $x$.…

In the high-energy limit, we compute the gauge-invariant three-parton forward clusters, which in the BFKL theory constitute the tree parts of the NNLO impact factors. In the triple collinear limit, we obtain the polarized double-splitting…
The summation of the small x-corrections to hard-scattering QCD amplitudes by collinear factorisation method is reconsidered and the K-factor is derived in leading ln x approximation with a result differing from the corresponding expression…
We study the energy dependence of the cross-section for exclusive photoproduction of vector mesons $J/\psi$ and $\Upsilon$, using a solution to the next-to-leading order (NLO) Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov (BFKL) equation. Our goal is to…
