Impact Parameter Dependence in the Balitsky-Kovchegov Equation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the impact parameter dependence of solutions to the Balitsky-Kovchegov (BK) equation. We argue that if the kernel of the BK integral equation is regulated to cutoff infrared singularities, then it can be approximated by an equation without diffusion in impact parameter. For some purposes, when momentum scales large compared to ΛQCD are probed, the kernel may be approximated as massless. In particular, we find that the Froissart bound limit is saturated for physical initial conditions and seem to be independent of the cutoff so long as the cutoff is sufficiently large compared to the momentum scale associated with the large distance falloff of the impact parameter distribution.

On solutions of the Balitsky - Kovchegov equation with impact parameter
We numerically analyze the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation with the full dependence on impact parameter b. We show that due to a particular b-dependence of the initial condition the amplitude decreases for large dipole sizes r. Thus the region of saturation has a finite extension in the dipole size r, and its width increases with rapidity. We also calculate the b-dependent saturation scale and disc...
متن کاملSolution to the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation in the saturation domain
The solution to the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation is found in the deep saturation domain. The controversy between different approaches regarding the asymptotic behaviour of the scattering amplitude is solved. It is shown that the dipole amplitude behaves as 1− exp (−z + ln z) with z = ln(rQs) (r -size of the dipole, Qs is the saturation scale) in the deep saturation region. This solution is devel...
متن کاملA Linear Evolution for Non-Linear Dynamics and Correlations in Realistic Nuclei
A new approach to high energy evolution based on a linear equation for QCD generating functional is developed. This approach opens a possibility for systematic study of correlations inside targets, and, in particular, inside realistic nuclei. Our results are presented as three new equations. The first one is a linear equation for QCD generating functional (and for scattering amplitude) that sum...
متن کاملTraveling waves and the renormalization group improved Balitsky–Kovchegov equation
I study the incorporation of renormalization group (RG) improved BFKL kernels in the Balitsky–Kovchegov (BK) equation which describes parton saturation. The RG improvement takes into account important parts of the next-to-leading and higher order logarithmic corrections to the kernel. The traveling wave front method for analyzing the BK equation is generalized to deal with RG-resummed kernels, ...
متن کاملSaturation at low x and nonlinear evolution
In this talk the results of the analytical and numerical analysis of the nonlinear Balitsky-Kovchegov equation are presented. The characteristic BFKL diffusion into infrared regime is suppressed by the generation of the saturation scale Qs. We identify the scaling and linear regimes for the solution. We also study the impact of subleading corrections onto the nonlinear evolution.
