We summarize the state of the art of resummation techniques in the small-$x$ limit of perturbative QCD.
We resum the recently calculated second order kernel of the BFKL equation. That kernel can be viewed as the sum of a conformally invariant part and a running coupling part. The conformally invariant part leads to a corrected BFKL intercept…
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 this letter we show that the behaviour of $F_{2}$, at very small $x_B$, agrees with the behaviour expected from the BFKL evolution equation, when screening corrections are included. We obtain a description which is consistent with the…
High-energy evolution equations, such as the BFKL, BK or JIMWLK equations, aim at resumming the high-energy (next-to-)leading logarithms appearing in QCD perturbative series. However, the standard derivations of those equations are…
We present a small x resummation for the GLAP anomalous dimension and its corresponding dual BFKL kernel, which includes all the available perturbative information and nonperturbative constraints. Specifically, it includes all the…
We extend our previous results on small-x resummation in the pure Yang--Mills theory to full QCD with nf quark flavours, with a resummed two-by-two matrix of resummed quark and gluon splitting functions. We also construct the corresponding…
On the basis of previous work by Fadin, Lipatov, and collaborators, and of our group, we extract the "irreducible" part of the next-to-leading (NL) BFKL kernel, we compute its (IR finite) eigenvalue function, and we discuss its implications…
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…
The impact of the resummation of leading small-$x$ terms in the anomalous dimensions is briefly summarized for the evolution of non--singlet and singlet polarized structure functions.
We apply our systematic NLO small x resummation of singlet splitting functions to the scaling violations of structure functions and compare the results with data. We develop various theoretical tools which are needed in order to relate…
The most complete high-energy evolution of Wilson line operators is described by the set of equations called Balitsky-JIMWLK evolution equations. It is known from the studies of the linear - the BFKL - evolution equation that the leading…
I examine the form of the solution of the BFKL equation with running coupling relevant for deep inelastic scattering. The evolution of structure functions is precisely determined and well described by an effective coupling of the form…
I review recent results by Fadin,Lipatov and collaborators and by our group,leading to the almost complete calculation of the next-to-leading BFKL kernel,of its eigenvalues,and of the resummed gluon anomalous dimension. Qualitative…
Starting from a rewiev of DGLAP and BFKL evolution equations for small-x processes, a sistematic study is performed in order to understand the limits of both the formulations and to improve them in a unique framework, which aims to cover…
A generalization of the leading-order DGLAP evolution at small x is performed for the non-singlet structure function by resumming the leading-order DGLAP anomalous dimension to all orders in the QCD coupling. Explicit expressions are…
The resummation of $O(\alpha_s^{l+1} \ln^{2l} x)$ terms in the evolution equation of the singlet part of $g_1(x,Q^2)$ is carried out. The corresponding singlet evolution kernels are calculated explicitely. The leading small-$x$ contribution…
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…
This talk summarises our work on the calculation of small-$x$ jet rates within the BFKL and CCFM approaches. The two approaches are proven to yield the same results at the leading logarithm level to order ${\bar \alpha}_{S}^{3}$. The proof…
We compare two Monte Carlo implementations of resummation schemes for the description of parton evolution at small values of Bjorken x. One of them is based on the Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov (BFKL) evolution equation and generates fully…
