At very high energies, the relevant component of the hadron wavefunction can be described as a Color Glass Condensate, i.e., a state of high density gluonic matter whose distribution is random, but frozen over the relevant time scales. The…
We show that geometrical scaling exhibited by the $p_{\rm T}$ spectra measured by the CMS collaboration at the LHC is substantially improved if the exponent $\lambda$ of the saturation scale depends on $p_{\rm T}$. This dependence is shown…

Parton distributions in the small $x$ region are numerically predicted by using a modified DGLAP equation with the GRV-like input distributions. We find that gluon recombination at twist-4 level obviously suppresses the rapid growth of…
We study BFKL evolution and, in particular, the energy dependence of the saturation momentum in the presence of saturation boundaries limiting the region of linear BFKL evolution. In the case of fixed coupling evolution we confirm the…
In the semiclassical approach, inclusive and diffractive quark and gluon distributions are expressed in terms of correlation functions of Wilson loops. Each Wilson loop integrates the colour field strength in the area between the…
