We emphasize the importance of applying power counting to the small-$x$ observables, which introduces novel soft contributions usually missing and allows for a unified treatment of the Balitsky-Kovchegov (BK) evolution and various Sudakov…

The Wilson Coefficients for all 4-parton operators which arise in matching QCD to Soft-Collinear Effective Theory (SCET) are computed at 1-loop. Any dijet observable calculated in SCET beyond leading order will require these results. The…
