Saturation and geometrical scaling (GS) of gluon distributions are a consequence of the non-linear evolution equations of QCD. We argue that in pp GS holds for the inelastic cross-section rather than for the multiplicity distributions. We…
We investigate the effects of the saturation boundary on small-x evolution at the next-to-leading order accuracy and beyond. We demonstrate that the instabilities of the next-to-leading order BFKL evolution are not cured by the presence of…
We update our estimates of charged and neutral current neutrino total cross sections on isoscalar nucleons at ultrahigh energies using a global (x, Q^2) fit, motivated by the Froissart bound, to the F_2 (electron-proton) structure function…
We study inclusive and diffractive dijet production in electron-proton and electron-nucleus collisions within the Color Glass Condensate effective field theory. We compute dijet cross sections differentially in both mean dijet transverse…

The JIMWLK equation with a "daughter dipole" running coupling is solved numerically starting from an initial condition given by the McLerran-Venugopalan model. The resulting Wilson line configurations are then used to compute the spectrum…
We employ values of the colour dipole cross section extracted from electroproduction and photoproduction data to show that gluon saturation effects are not required by the current HERA data but will become important in the THERA energy…
Following the Good-and-Walker picture, hard diffraction in the high-energy/small-x limit of QCD can be described in terms of eigenstates of the scattering matrix off a Color Glass Condensate. From the CGC non-linear evolution equations, it…

The $F_{2}$ structure functions of the inelastic lepton-hadron scattering is calculated in the case of non-zero intermediate gluon-quarks self-energy $M_{gq}^{2}$ and quasielastic limit. It is shown that in the quasielastic limit the…
An attempt is made in QCD to explain the growth of total cross-sections with energy, without violating the Froissart bound. This is achieved by computing the phase shifts of elastic scatterings of partons rather than their amplitudes. To…
We present a modification of the DGLAP improved saturation model with respect to the nonlinear correction (NLC). The GLR-MQ improved saturation model is considered by employing the parametrization of proton structure function due to the…
The nonlinear boson diffusion equation is taken as a basis to account for the fast thermalization of gluons in the initial stages of relativistic heavy-ion collisions. For constant drift and diffusion coefficients with schematic initial…

We consider one loop corrections to single inclusive particle production in parton-nucleus scattering at high energies, treating the target nucleus as a Color Glass Condensate. We prove by explicit computation that in the leading log Q^2…
We derive an evolution equation for the generating functional which accounts for processes for both gluon emission and recombination. In terms of color dipoles, the kernel of this equation describes evolution as a classical branching…

A truncated BFKL series is studied and applied to hadronic processes. The proton-(anti)proton cross sections are described with good agreement with data and in a way consistent with the unitarity bound. The elastic scattering amplitude is…
We calculate total hadron-hadron cross sections at high energies using the Low-Nussinov two-gluon model of the Pomeron. The gluon exchange is represented by a phenomenological potential including screened color-Coulomb, screened confining,…
